Who invented cellophane?

Jacques Brandenberger, a Swiss textile engineer was dining at a restaurant when he saw a bottle of wine being spilt al over the tablecloth. That was in 1908. Brandenberger thought that it would be a good idea to develop a material that he could coat over cloth to make it waterproof. He experimented and finally came up with a way to apply liquid viscose over cloth. But he found that this combination did not work, as the new material made the cloth too stiff and clumsy. But the new clear material which was like a thin film, could easily be separated from the cloth, and its amazing possibilities were immediately apparent to him.

Today, cellophane is widely used in industry, to package food and to make products we use every day like cello tape
