Which material conserves heat best paper cotton or aluminum foil?

Answer 1

The best heat saver is tin foil. Cotton paper is going to absorb the heat and it will dissipate shortly after. Tin foil will keep heat in because it allows the air to circulate around the object being kept warm.

Answer 2

I'm not sure but I believe it depends on the surrounding temperature... For example, in heat (like in an oven or in the hot summer) aluminum foil absorbs heat well. Cotton is good for letting your body "breathe"..but it may do a better job than aluminum foil in cold environmental temperatures. Paper doesn't do much I don't thinkk.. I'm not exactly sure how to answer your question because I don't know what you're using the material for, but i hope that helps!

Answer 3

I'd say the better heat convserver of the two, would be aluminum foil.

Answer 4

actually I did the problem myself and i know cotton was the best and aluminum foil; was THE WORST! solve it, it was vry fun!

Answer 5

Polystyrene is a good insulator or heat. This is because of the trapped air. So in theory so is bubble wrap.

Answer 6

Aluminum foil reflects and conducts heat; it is a poor insulator. Paper conserves slight amounts of heat. Several layers of paper can conserve heat effectively.
