What would be the best material to encase something in to keep it room temperature?

The Space Shuttle Tiles would work very well, but are really expensive.

Place it in an asbestos sleeve...that should cool it off for a while so it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket.  :)

In a dark cool area, I store mine in the closet which is in the inner most corner of my house, it's pretty cool in there.\nJust keep it out of extreme temperature swings and light.

dunk a towel in water....wring it out good....roll it into a tube a stick it in the freezer...it will freeze pretty quick as the fabric allows air to get in. drape this across the back of your neck...your body temp will drop pretty quick\n\nyour kinda cute by the way *wink*

Make a box of strong glass or reinforced cardboard. Put the mobile inside it and use a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out of the box. Make it airtight. Thats it.

I remember this question since it was on the test once:\n\nList the following kinds of matter by how well they conduct heat (from the best to the worst): Wood; air; metal; water.\n\nMy answer was the correct one and it was: Metal; water; wood; air.

pack it in dry ice (solid CO2) it will stay solid for a long long time\n\nno don't use salt, will melt it quick

<>Use a thermal lunch bag for solid foods; you could heat a foil wrapped rock and place it in the bag to help keep the food warm.  For liquids, use a Thermos.

No polymer can withstand this level of temperature. However, if you can sheild and cool the rope to around 120 degrees C then a ploymer could be used. Fire resistane containors uses this method, but only last for about 1 hour. I would recommend looking at the metal manufacturing industries. The only material that I know that can withstand tis level of tempature are nickle based super alloys which are used in Jet engines at around 850C.\nHowever, you could use steel that is cooled and shelded and this might last the length of the fire.

Styrofoam will keep your how goodies hot, and also keep cold goodies cold.  The key is that it traps small air pockets and keeps the goods from transferring heat from the inside out. the stuff is really remarkable.  Styrofoam is what people use to handle liquid nitrogen, and it will work right up past the point of boiling water.

Water acts as the medium in many processes. 25 deg C is the room temp.

Try a small piece of linoleum or formica or paneling.  \n\nHope that helps.

Keep it covered to contain its flavor.

First layer should be polypropylene then the next layer should be wool the polypropylene will repel water away from your feet the wool will act like an insulator

do you mean icynene?\nif so it is a foam insulation sprayed into walls, ceilings, etc\nGood Luck

Create an enclosure around it. There are plenty of acoustically dampening cloths. Use fireproof materials only. \nAlso make sure that the enclosure is vented.\n\nAs a precaution, leave an air gap of around three or four inches around all surfaces of the transformer's outside metal box. Lastly dont let the air inside ever get hot.

What you really are measuring is insulating capacity. You can probably measure the temperature rise in a container full of a given volume of water at a fixed initial temperature, and wrapped in one or more layers of the fabric in question. The better-insulating fabrics will keep you warmer.
