Is polystyrene a conductor?
polystyrene along with other porous (objects which have a lot of air in them) such as Styrofoam water, wood and other materials are insulators, not conductors.
Are gases thermal insulators?
Yes. Gases have low thermal conductivity, so if you keep convection low (bulk movement of the gas) they are good thermal insulators. Refractive bricks used in kilns (high temperature ovens) made of silica and some other low conductivity materials are made intentionally porous.
What is the part of speech for insulators?
Insulators is a plural noun.
Why are blankets good insulators?

What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Is a concrete non porous?
There are two types porous and non porous. You can also seel porous concrete to make it non porous.

How are porous materials used as thermal insulators?
actually the insulator is the dead air in the pores a better insulator is vacuum (only radiation) air has conduction convection and radiation air is easier to handle near sea level
Is concrete a non-porous surface?
There are two types porous and non porous. You can also seel porous concrete to make it non porous.
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
Is silk porous or nonporous?
Silk is porous -- it absorbs liquids.
Is metal porous?
Metal is not porous. Many other elements are porous though and when metal combines with them it can potentially become porous.
Does metamorphism make the rock more porous or less porous?
more porous
What a good sentence for porous?
The story proved to be quite porous. Lava is a porous rock.
