→Thermal Insulators and Energy Transfer
The effectiveness of a '''thermal insulator''' is affected by two factors:
*[[Thermal Conductivity]] - The lower the [[Thermal Conductivity|thermal conductivity]] the better the [[material]] is as an '''insulator'''.
*Thickness - The thicker the [[material]] the better it will be at reducing [[Energy Transfer|energy transfer]]and the more effective the '''insulation'''.
