stylofoam cups are poor conductors of heat, hence when a exothermic chemical reaction is carried out inside a stylofoam cup, the heat given out cannot be dissepated into the environment via the walls of the cup. Therefore the cup acts as an insulating material.

What materials make good insulators?
Rubber, Styrofoam, air pockets, cloth, plastic
What materials make the best conductors and insulators?
Conductors- Most types of metal. Copper and Aluminium are used these days. Silver is a very good conductor but it is expensive. Insulators- rubber, plastic and wood are good insulators in the solid state.

What company makes styrofoam?
Dow Chemical company is the leading producer of Styrofoam. Styrofoam is used to make many things such as plates and cups.
What substances are the best insulators?
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
What kind of cups would you use to make calorimeter?
Styrofoam Cup
Is styrofoam polar or nonpolar?
Thermoplastic is a term that refers to a substance turning into plastic when exposed to extreme temperatures. This would make Styrofoam thermoplastic.

What materlials make good insulators for a science fair project?
Rubber Wood
How do you make a styrofoam cup snowman to put on a door?
There are many snowmen that can be made from styrofoam cups, from a very simple one to a full-sized snowman that is perfect for hanging on your door at Christmas. For the instructions about how to make the full-sized door Santa, visit the Related Link.
How do you make a Styrofoam model of the Berlin wall?
you make the Styrofoam look like it
What is in an example of a good insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.
