Thermally insulative material
A thermally insulating material comprising at least three layers, wherein the first layer comprises a metalized material capable of reflecting thermal radiation, wherein the second layer comprises a foam, an ultra-low thermally conductive material, a phase change material, or a combination thereof, and wherein the third layer comprises a woven or non-woven material. In aspects, the metalized layer reflects thermal radiation away from a covered electronic component or device.

a second layer located between the first layer and a third layer comprising a foam, an ultra-low thermally conductive material, a phase change material, or a combination thereof; and
the third layer including or located towards the innermost side of the thermally insulative composite material, the third layer comprising a woven or non-woven material; and
wherein the first layer reflects thermal radiation away from the innermost side of the thermally insulative composite material; and
