A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
Graphite is an example of a substance that can conduct electricity but is a poor conductor of heat. This is because of its unique structure, where it has delocalized electrons that can move freely to conduct electricity, but the heat energy is not easily transferred through the material due to weak intermolecular forces.
It might mean "not applicable," but if so it is a very poorly written MSDS. Abbreviations and contractions should be explained or not used.
Metalloids are the class of elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They have characteristics of both, such as being semi-conductive like nonmetals and having metallic luster like metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
NH3 is a weak electrolyte because it only partially dissociates into ions in solution, creating a low concentration of ions. This limited dissociation means that it conducts electricity poorly compared to strong electrolytes that fully dissociate into ions.
Acid rain is another term for poorly buffered precipitation as it refers to rain that has higher acidity levels than normal due to pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from human activities.
thermal insulator
a conductor does, while an insulator poorly conducts thermal energy!
Thermal energy poorly and slowly transfers in liquids
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. A hot body has more thermal energy than a similar cold body, but a large tub of cold water may have more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water. Thermal energy can be transferred from one body, usually hotter, to a second body, usually colder, in three ways: conduction , convection, and radiation. Insulator
A material that conducts electric current poorly is an insulator. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to their tightly bound electrons, which do not move easily. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
One example of a material that conducts electricity poorly is rubber. Rubber is an insulator and does not allow the flow of electric current easily due to its high resistance.
The property of a substance called the thermal conductivity indicates how well or how poorly a substance conducts heat. Insulating materials have a thermal conductivity around 0.02 to 0.08 Btu per hr - ft - F degree. A good conductor of heat like steel pipe has a thermal conductivity of about 24 Btu per hr - ft - F degree.
an insulator
insulator. Insulators have low thermal conductivity, which means they are not good conductors of heat and help to slow down the transfer of heat. This property makes them useful for insulating buildings, electrical wires, and various other applications where heat needs to be retained or kept out.

Thermal conductivity involves the movement of energy while the as a whole is still. Gases are said to have low thermal conductivity, as they transfer heat poorly. Metals have much better thermal conductivity, as they will heat up and cool down relatively quickly.
Not really. You'll get a bit of heat(thermal energy) in brakes, poorly maintaned bearings and in the rider's muscles - but that's all just unavoidable losses, and isn't helping the ride at all.
