No, liquid starch and fabric softener are not the same. Liquid starch is used to add stiffness to fabric while fabric softener is used to make fabric feel softer by reducing static and making it more comfortable to wear.

Can i use fabric softener instead of liquid starch?

1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup cold water mix and keep stirring while you pour in about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of boiling water depending on how stiff you need. It should stay clear. Dip the item to be starched, wring and iron. (from the time of weekly wash days, wringer washers and flat irons) My thoughts: Because it's food (cornstarch) this isn't good for long term projects as they'll rot eventually. Liquid starch is pretty cheap, doesn't go bad and there's 1000's of projects that use it. Finger paint is one that uses a lot of starch.

What would if the concentration of the starch inside of the membrane was greater than the starch concentration outside the membrane?

Assuming the starch can not penetrate the membrane, but the carrier liquid can, then the liquid would flow into the membrane until the two concentrations were the same. Or the starch would migrate out of the membrane until the concentrations were the same if it can.

What is febreeze made of?

I have found 2 very good answers: 1. They are basically sugars that have a hole in them, which drives out water molecules while holding 'guest' molecules in isolation. With a 'smelly' molecule encounters it, it stops interacting with the environment and *poof* no smell. The neat thing is, when it gets surrounded by lots of water, it releases the guest molecule. This is just what you would want to happen when you wash it. 2. I have also read somewhere that these are just watter and fabric softener which has the same purpose; remove odder and soften the fabric! So if you mix some watter and a small amount of fabric softener you should get the same results.
