the chemicals in the paper towels absorb by creating a chemical reaction with the different materials and in turn soak up the liquids:)

All material substances, including plastics of every type, can absorb heat to a greater or lesser degree (the measurement of heat absorbing ability is officially known as heat capacity). There are plastics that will melt if you heat them, but they still absorb heat, even as they melt.
some liquids can decompose when heated
If they are heated they will absorb heat, like any substance does, up to the point where they are hot enough to react with oxygen and start burning, then they emit heat.
Reflect
yes
A evaporator
Cold packs, for bruises are one invention.
conductor
yes as long as they are cooler than the air around them or other gases solids and liquids!
No, soapstone is dense, non-porous and does not absorb liquids. Water and oil can be adsorbed by talc and soapstone.
sponges
yes

Probably liquids like mollasses and maple syrup.
All surfaces absorb some heat.
