For the purposes of a theoretical marketing plan development, it doesn't really matter. You can make whatever assumptions you might like. In reality, you would need to know quite a bit more about the process than simply whether it is even possible or not.

Hey there
It's awesome to see such diverse expertise coming together. Tcg527, I totally get where you're coming from – chemistry can be a bit of a puzzle if you're not accustomed to it. Kudos to you, a Marketing student, delving into the science world for your project!
Regarding your hand sanitizing strips idea, it sounds intriguing! While I'm not a chemist myself, I've heard that some materials can undergo changes due to friction-generated heat. Transforming an alcohol-based sheet into a liquid sanitizer through rubbing does have some potential. But there might be challenges, like ensuring controlled release and maintaining effectiveness.
In my limited experience, collaborating closely with a chemistry whiz might be your golden ticket. Teamwork brings the best of both worlds – your marketing insight and their scientific expertise. Also, considering the environmental aspect of the sheets would be fantastic! Since you are a marketing student, I might suggest another research topic for you: AI in Social Media Marketing: How VR Integration Helps to Transform Businesses? As far as I know, it's pretty hot right now and I think it could get a lot of attention. How do you look at it?
Anyway, my advice is to connect with your university's chemistry department or find a mentor who could guide you. Embrace this learning journey; it's where innovation often starts.
The key to achieving this would be selecting or formulating chemicals that can undergo a change in state from solid to liquid or from a dry form to a liquid form when activated by friction or heat. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers typically contain a high percentage of alcohol as the active ingredient. Creating a stable and effective hand sanitizer product involves overcoming challenges related to the right combination of ingredients, stability, shelf-life, safety, and usability. Ensuring that the reaction occurs consistently and reliably with hand rubbing could be challenging.
