How does plastic foam reduc heat loss?
Plastic foam consists of bubbles containing air or gas. Those bubbles are poor conductors of heat, and reduce the transfer of heat from warmer to cooler areas.
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
What types of materials are poor conductors of heat?
that is why hot pads are so popular and other pots and pans have handles made out of conductors like wood or plastic keep the heat from traveling through the handle and to your hand.
Why materials such as plastic foam feather and fur are poor conductors of thermal energy?
Because they trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat. They hold surfaces away from each other, to stop direct conduction.
Which material will let heat through?
Thermal conductors let heat through. These tend to be metals, such as aluminium or iron. Bad conductors might be plastic or glass.

What are poor conductors of heat and eletricity?
Insulators- like foam, rubber, etc
Why are materials such as plastic foam feathers and fur poor insulators of heat?

Why materials such as plastic form feathers and fur as poor conductors of heat?
The answer I found was : In foam there is a large gap between the conduction band in atoms making up the foam. or The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat).
Why are cookers made of metals and not plastic?
because plastic melts on heating and metal doesnot melt on heating.metals are good conductors of heat.
Does metal conduct more heat than plastic?
Yes, metals are better conductors of heat than plastic.

Poor conductors of heat and electicity?
gases and many plastic materials
