Polymer Clay is basically polymer vinyl chloride, a type of plastic. There are ground up pigments as well as a liquid plasticizer- all clay manufacturers have a "secret formula" that they won't share with the public. The main thing to remember is that when you fire the clay in the oven, you are "burning out" the plasticizer that is liquid, and all that is left is the pigment and the PVC which bonds together in the low heat.
Polymer clay is lighter than terracotta clay. Terracotta clay is a natural clay that is heavier due to its composition, while polymer clay is a man-made material that is much lighter in weight.
Hope this helped! No....Polymer Clay and Reg. Clay are not the same. For One Polymer Clay can be 'cured' in your home oven where other clay need either air to dry them or a High Fire Kilm.
Teflon belongs to the polymer class of fluoropolymers. It is a type of synthetic polymer that contains fluorine atoms as part of its chemical structure, making it highly resistant to heat and chemicals.
No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.
Milk is not a polymer or a monomer. It is a complex mixture of components such as water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and minerals. Each component in milk has its own chemical structure and properties.

they can be if you buy modeling clay it could or could not be able to bake.Unlike polymer clay it is alway able to be baked!

To stop the polymer clay from picking up dirt and lint is to get the clay and then take the link and dirt out of it. and then that's how we can stop the link and dirt of getting into the polymer clay.

I am not sure what you mean about make polymer clay with cornstarch. Polymer clay is a clay already made. You can use cornstarch to avoid other objects like stamps from sticking to the clay when you make prints on clay. You just brush it on with a soft brush. It does not harm the clay, and after curing you can simply rinse it off with water.

The firing of a clay pot in a kiln involves both physical and chemical processes. The physical process is the application of heat to the clay, causing it to harden and form a solid structure. The chemical process involves the transformation of the clay minerals into a more stable crystalline structure through processes like dehydration and recrystallization.
The process of feldspar mixing with water and producing clay minerals is a chemical process. This is because the chemical structure of the feldspar is altered when it reacts with water to form clay minerals, such as kaolinite, illite, or montmorillonite.
If the question means to ask whether polymer clay would make good TOOLS for chocolate sculpting, the answer would be "probably not." Polymer clay does not make fine points or sharp edges or have the strength needed for chocolate sculpting.
