Are conductors good insulation materials?

No, insulators and non conductive.


Are plastics non electrical conductors?

Plastics are typically good electrical insulators, meaning they do not conduct electricity well. This is due to their molecular structure which restricts the flow of electrons. However, some plastics can become conductive when certain additives or fillers are included in their composition.


Can we made conductive plastics?

yes


Why is an iron nail conductive when electrical potential is applied?

Metals are good conductors (rusted metals are not!)

What is a good conductor of heat called?

Metals are good conductors of heat. Plastics and wood are very poor.


What is the difference between conductive and non-conductive?

Conductive materials allow electricity to flow through them easily, while non-conductive materials do not allow electricity to flow through. Conductive materials typically contain free electrons that can move and carry an electric charge, while non-conductive materials have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily. Examples of conductive materials include metals, while examples of non-conductive materials include rubber or plastic.


What is a good conductor and a good insulator?

Good conductors, of heat and electricity are metals such as copper and silver. Good insulators are vacuums, wood and plastics.


If someone were talking about thermally conductive plastics what would they be referring to?

Thermally conductive plastics are plastics which heat up because they conduct heat due to their chemical composition. These types of plastics are available from the Premix Group, Masterbond and T Global Thermal.


Is metal conductive?

yes metals are the best conductors


What are not good conductors of heat and electricity?

A vaccum, cotton, dry wood, wool, polycarbonate and a number of other plastics.


Is plastic a condoctor?

The term plastic has a broad definition as regards materials. There are thousands of plastics. We often think of plastics as organic polymers, and we will generally find that these materials are not good conductors. Different substances added to plastics during production can change this, but we usually find that plastics do not support current flow, and, therefore, might best be considered insulators rather than conductors.
