Converse of object

• use: We can use insulators to prevent electric current flowing to places where we don't want it.

• call: Materials which do not allow an electric current to flow well are called insulators.

• have: Or do you have a insulator of some type?

• make: Ask children for their ideas as to how we could investigate which materials would make the best thermal insulators.

Adjective modifier

• thermal: The air gap creates a thermal insulator with the third layer enabling all the moisture to escape at its own rate.

• electrical: Ceramic spark plugs, which are electrical insulators, have had a large impact on society.

• ceramic: Therefore, soft ferrites, which are ceramic insulators, become the most desirable material.

• sound: To complete the lesson, the pupils discussed why they thought cotton wool was the best sound insulator.

• excellent: Wood is renewable, has low embodied energy and is an excellent insulator.

• good: A: No, the Caves are sandstone, a good heat insulator.

Modifies a noun

• nose: The insulator nose is of improved design, allowing better gas flow around the firing end.

• element: A main focus of our work is to determine what activities the barrier proteins recruit to the insulator element.

• surface: This is because oil particles are not blown away by air circulating around the engine compartment and thus adhere to the insulator surface.

• transition: Observation of the Mott insulator transition and of state-dependent transport of atoms in a lattice provide other tools needed to execute quantum information processing.

• tip: Since the insulator tip is the hottest part of the spark plug, the tip temperature is a primary factor in preignition and fouling.

• material: Insulator material made of 95 % aluminum oxide - good thermal conductivity and stronger.

Noun used with modifier

• chromatin: Jacqueline is currently supported by the AICR to study the control of DNA methylation by a chromatin insulator.

• porcelain: Take care not to contact the porcelain insulator or the center electrode as they can be easily damaged.

• heat: A: No, the Caves are sandstone, a good heat insulator.

• glass: During each trial the lights were turned off and I placed a sheet of film on the glass plate insulator, emulsion side up.
