Vacuum is the best insulator. But radiation penetrates the vacuum easily so a mirror coated vacuum would be ideal.
Vacuum
A thermal insulator resists heat transfer and an electrical insulator resists flow of electrons.it is heat,light,antiond mo
RubberA2 or if you're thinking of heat, foamed polystyrene is pretty goodor if you're thinking of acoustics, lead or massive concrete are good.
insulater
Wadding, or filling, will trap pockets of air. As the air is trapped, it cannot convect heat so easily, and it is also more difficult for heat to be conducted. So, trapped air is a good insulator.
conductor
aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.
the best insulater would probably be aluminum foil. the reason for this is that it reflects heat and light. That's how solar ovens work.
Metals are conductors of heat. Gold is a metal.
A conductor, that conducts heat or energy well
Blocks flow of (1) electric current and/or (2) heat
A conductor can conduct heat and electricity, but an insulator can't.
Its a insulater
A thermal insulator resists heat transfer and an electrical insulator resists flow of electrons.it is heat,light,antiond mo
An insulator is either something that:* Doesn't conduct electrical currents well, or * Doesn't conduct heat well
I think thAT WOOL IS A GOOD INSULATER BECAUSE IT IS
RubberA2 or if you're thinking of heat, foamed polystyrene is pretty goodor if you're thinking of acoustics, lead or massive concrete are good.
They are polysterene foam and fiber glass (not encouraged due to irritation of the skin when broken).
