stylofoam cups are poor conductors of heat, hence when a exothermic chemical reaction is carried out inside a stylofoam cup, the heat given out cannot be dissepated into the environment via the walls of the cup. Therefore the cup acts as an insulating material.
Rubber, Styrofoam, air pockets, cloth, plastic
Three materials that use trapped air to make good insulators are fiberglass, styrofoam, and aerogel. These materials create insulating properties by trapping air within their structure, which reduces heat transfer through conduction and convection.
Materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, would not make good insulators as they allow electricity to flow freely. Examples of good insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.
Conductors- Most types of metal. Copper and Aluminium are used these days. Silver is a very good conductor but it is expensive. Insulators- rubber, plastic and wood are good insulators in the solid state.
Materials that make good insulators typically have high electrical resistance and low thermal conductivity. Examples include rubber, glass, ceramic, plastic, and wood. These materials are used to prevent the flow of electricity or heat, making them effective insulators in various applications.
Dow Chemical company is the leading producer of Styrofoam. Styrofoam is used to make many things such as plates and cups.
Styrofoam Cup
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
The polymer used to make styrofoam cups and insulation is polystyrene. Polystyrene is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer derived from styrene and is known for its lightweight, insulating properties.

There are many snowmen that can be made from styrofoam cups, from a very simple one to a full-sized snowman that is perfect for hanging on your door at Christmas. For the instructions about how to make the full-sized door Santa, visit the Related Link.
Rubber Wood
you make the Styrofoam look like it
I would say with house insulation, t-shirts, paper cups, styrofoam, or maybe even tape
