What else can I help you with?
Are good thermal insulators good electrical insulators too?
no A2: Not necessarily. Solid plastics or solid glass or ceramic have high dielectric strength but not good thermal insulation. Closed-cell foam has good thermal insulating properties but not as good a dielectric strength as solid--there are pockets of gas or air in it. The D.S. is not much better than using the same volume of gas, alone.
What do you call substances that will not let thermal heat pass through them?
thermal insulator
Are metals thermal insulators?
omdat je nou eenmaal moet poepen!!
Which chemicals don't allow to pass heat from it?
These substances are called thermal insulators.
Substances that are poor conductors of heat?
Examples of substances that are poor conductors of heat are wood, plastic, and rubber. These materials have low thermal conductivity, which means they do not transfer heat efficiently and therefore are good insulators.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
What makes good thermal insulators and conductors?
Good thermal insulators have high thermal resistance and low thermal conductivity, which helps to slow down heat transfer. Materials like foam, fiberglass, and wool are good insulators. Good thermal conductors, on the other hand, have high thermal conductivity and allow heat to transfer quickly. Copper, aluminum, and silver are examples of good thermal conductors.
Should the ceramic tiles on a shuttle be good thermal conductors?
No. They should be good thermal insulators.
Can you name all the good thermal insulators?
yes
Are good thermal insulators good electrical insulators too?

What material are the best thermal insulators?
Materials such as fiberglass, mineral wool, and foam board are commonly used as thermal insulators due to their low thermal conductivity properties. These materials help reduce the transfer of heat, keeping buildings cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Additionally, aerogel and vacuum insulated panels are considered some of the best thermal insulators with very low thermal conductivity.
Which is a good thermal insulator?
The best thermal insulator is vacuum as in the gap of the thermos bottle. Another god thermal insulators is air (as in closed cell polyurethane foam or double glaze windows, or any gas in closed environment.
What do thermal insulators have?
Thermal insulators have insulating capabilities. This means that they do not have any aspect that allows them to conduct thermal energy.
Is shiny a good insulator?
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.
What is the opposite of thermal insulators?
The opposite of thermal insulators are thermal conductors. Thermal conductors are materials that allow heat to transfer easily through them, while thermal insulators are materials that block the transfer of heat.
Where are insulators use?
In buildings
Are napkins insulators?
Napkins are not good insulators, as they are thin and do not provide much thermal or electrical resistance. They are more commonly used for wiping and cleaning purposes.
