RE: stretch film

I have a friend working on that topic. You are stretching the polymer, and hence the polymer chains and then cooling them fast so that they are trapped in their stretched condition. They want to shrink back to their original, equilibrium shape but they can't because they are below their glass transition temperature and the chains cannot move. Then, when you heat them they go back to their original shape and the film shrinks. If I find an article on it I will tell you.
