Yes they are.
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators

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.
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators

spongespaper towelglassduck tapesawdustmetals...these are excellent insulators.....
I think that paper towels are good insulators because if you put a few layers in a cup, they will absorb the water from the ice in the cup, which will keep the temperature in the cup cold enough to keep the ice from melting. Put a wash cloth under the layers of paper towels, the ice will be even better off. Put a plastic wrap over the top of the cup, I am pretty sure that the ice will NOT melt for a few hours! But if this experiment doesn't work, and you have a better answer, then go ahead and change this. Bye!
No, shiny surfaces are not good insulators. Shiny surfaces are reflective and do not support the absorption and retention of heat, which is a characteristic of good insulators. Good insulators are materials with low thermal conductivity that trap heat effectively.
They are called insulators. Rubber is an example of a good electrical insulator.More:PlasticGlassAirWoodCeramicPorcelainPaperVarnishMineral OilSlateMarblePolyethyleneSiliconePVCKaptonTeflon
