Zusammenfassung:An insulative material (14) and a method of forming the insulative material are provided. The insulative material is configured to change shape in response to temperature and thus, for example, the insulative material may become more insulative as the temperature decreases. For example, the insulative material may include a plurality of fibers (16) that change shape, such as by curling, in response to decreases in temperature, thereby correspondingly changing the insulative properties.
