The materials those do not permit electric current to flow are called insulators. Paper,organic materials like,diamond,etc. are insulators. for example diamond has such structure that hinders electricity to flow.
-- air -- cloth
Insulators are materials that prevent electrical flow.
The general term for "materials that conduct heat poorly" is "insulators". Examples would be wood, many ceramics, and cloth such as wool or cotton.
An insulator is a material that does not allow a transfer of electricity or heat energy. Materials that are poor thermal conductors can also be described as being good thermal insulators. Feather, fur, and natural fibers are all examples of natural insulators
Insulators are materials or substances that do not readily allow the passage of sound or heat. Two examples of insulators are glass and porcelain.

Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow easily through it. Metals are the best examples of conductors. Insulators to the opposite; they don't like letting their electrons flow. Glass, rubber, and wood are some examples of insulators.

the materials are rubber and plastic
Conductors are materials that will allow electricity to flow through them. Materials that contain 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons are good conductors. Some examples of good conductors are gold, silver, aluminum, and copper. Insulators are materials, or combinations of materials, with a high number of valence electrons (5, 6, 7, and 8). Examples of good insulators are porcelain, glass, air, and rubber.

Examples of good insulators include rubber, glass, wood, plastic, and ceramic materials. These materials have high resistance to the flow of electricity or heat, making them effective at blocking the transfer of energy.
Some heat insulators are fiberglass, polyurethane foam, and polystyrene. Two other thermal insulators used as insulating materials in building construction are mineral wool and cellular glass.
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
