I suspect he is talking about cellulose acetate, which can sometimes be
bought in sheets at commercial printers in the US. Dickblick.com also
carries it.
Chemically, it's usually made from wood pulp. The chemical & casting
process from cellulose to cellulose acetate is too complex to go into
here, but it is transparent and tends to crease. I haven't tested it
for folding compared to other thin, clear plastic sheets, but I'm sure
the thickness of the material will play some part in how easily it can
be worked with!
Monica Jones, who uses a particular type of cellulose acetate for making
batteries....
