Jacques Edwin Brandenberger
Cellophane was invented by Swiss chemist Jacques E. Brandenberger in the early 20th century. He developed cellophane as an alternative to waterproof coatings for fabrics, leading to its use as a transparent packaging material.
Cellophane is a plastic made from paper. The same wood cellulose found in paper is the basis for cellophane. The thin film is "regenerated" from cellulose that has been dissolved in caustic soda, then treated with sulfuric acid. The same material (called viscose) that forms cellophane is the base for the "semi-synthetic" polyester fiber known as rayon.
Cellophane paper is semi-permeable, meaning that it allows some gases and moisture to pass through. It is not completely impermeable like some other plastic films.

Yes, cellophane paper is semi-permeable because it allows certain substances like air to pass through while blocking others like water. It is commonly used in packaging to preserve freshness and allow some airflow.

No, cellophane paper is not a conductor of electricity. It is an insulating material that does not allow the flow of electric current.
Transparent, or see-through paper, is called cellophane.

Yes, light can pass through cellophane paper. Cellophane paper is a translucent material, which means it allows some light to pass through but scatters the light as it does so.
No, wrapping paper is a thicker paper used to wrap gifts, while cellophane paper is a thin, transparent film often used for wrapping gifts or food items. Cellophane paper is more flexible and has a shiny appearance due to its plastic properties.
Cellophane paper is made from natural cellulose fibers, which have the ability to absorb and reflect light. When light hits the cellophane paper, the cellulose fibers scatter the light in different directions, giving the appearance of absorption. This effect can make the cellophane paper appear translucent or colored depending on the thickness and composition of the fibers.
cellophane paper, tracing paper and wax paper.
Cellophane was invented by Jacques E. Brandenberger in 1908. He first thought of the idea for a clear, protective, packaging layer in 1900.
Scotch tape was not invented in Scotland, it is merely a brand name for cellophane tape. Shrink-wrap is made from cellophane.
Cellophane paper can be purchased at party supply stores, dollar stores and card shops. Also look for cellophane paper to go on sale around Christmas time at most department stores.
