Physics of thermal insulation in beverage containers

[thepaqster]

hey there, I was asked to write a paper on the physics of beverage containers for a prof, and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas/references i could look up?
I will be discussing different types of beverage holders (cans, glass and plastic bottles, styrofoam cups, mugs, beer kegs ect) and my current area of interest is in thermal insulation. I will also be discussing the geometry of the containers, and the ability of a particular container to undergo stress without breaking depending on its shape and material.
If anyone has any suggestions or information please share! thank you!
