Solution

Teflon is a poor conductor of heat and hence, is used to make non-stick coating in cookwares.

Polyacrylonitrile is widely used as a substituent for wool and hence, is used to make socks, sweaters, etc.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a good insulator and can be easily deformed on heating. It is widely used in making pipes for plumbing.

Polystyrene is also a good insulator and is used to make thermocols.
