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.
Heat Absorption. As heat energy reaches an object it can be absorbed in a similar manner to the way sponges absorb water. Heat enters an object, warming it. The longer the object is exposed to the heat source, the more heat it absorbs. A good example of heat absorption is the traditional Christmas turkey.
