When we talk of an energy absorbing material, what weâre really talking about is a material that can control the release of energy in various ways. Energy is never lost â itâs only transferred into different forms. You probably remember this from basic science classes in middle school or high school.
Absorption of energy by a system as heat takes the form of increased kinetic energy of its molecules, thus resulting in an increase in temperature of the system. Heat is transferred from one system to another in the direction of higher to lower temperature. See also thermodynamics. See Note at temperature.
