Answer:

They are not conductors of heat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metals, like steel, are good conductors because of the particles they are made of. Materials like rubber are good insulators, because they don't pick up heat easily. Vacuums(not vacuum cleaners, matter-less voids) are good insulators.
