Cellophane shrinks when heated because it is made of regenerated cellulose that has been stretched and oriented during manufacturing. When exposed to heat, the molecular structure of cellophane relaxes and the material contracts, causing it to shrink in size.
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
No, glass does not shrink when heated. In fact, glass expands when heated due to increased molecular movement. If glass is subsequently cooled down rapidly, it can crack or shatter due to thermal stress.
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.
175-205C (before expansion) 175C=347F
Celluloid is a synthetic polymer made from cellulose nitrate, while cellophane is a thin, transparent film made from regenerated cellulose. The main difference lies in their chemical composition, with celluloid being more flammable and prone to deterioration over time compared to cellophane.
Scotch tape was not invented in Scotland, it is merely a brand name for cellophane tape. Shrink-wrap is made from cellophane.
Materials that shrink when heated include certain types of plastics, rubber, and fabrics.

they shrink and shrivel up
No, glass does not shrink when heated. In fact, glass expands when heated due to increased molecular movement. If glass is subsequently cooled down rapidly, it can crack or shatter due to thermal stress.
cellophane is a type of plastic and can not be composted
what year was cellophane made?
Because as the balloon is heated, the gases on the inside of the balloon begin to expand and press out on the walls of balloon. If a balloon is refridgerated, the opposite is true: the gases on the inside of the balloon will begin to contract, causing the balloon to shrink.
because the particles of the compound, called atoms, vibrate more when heated and then when cooled the
the whole will shrink
Yes, rubber typically shrinks when heated because the heat causes the rubber molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together.
