Rubber, Styrofoam, air pockets, cloth, plastic
First AnswerYes it is and it can also withstand heat. For many years mica was used in toasters to make a framework to hold the heating elements.Next AnswerActually mica is a very good electrical INSULATOR, but is a good THERMAL conductor, which is why it was used for holding heating elements.
A nonmetal would make a good insulator.
It is an insulator!!
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely. Rubber, glass, paper, and Teflon, which have high resistivity, are very good electrical insulators.
No, a material with outer electrons that are free to move easily is a good conductor of electricity, not a good insulator. Insulators are materials that have tightly bound outer electrons, which do not move easily, leading to limited flow of electricity.

Often you can make a material change state by heating or cooling it
To make a good insulator, use materials with high resistance to heat or electricity, such as rubber, glass, or plastic. Ensure the insulator has low thermal conductivity to minimize heat transfer and is thick enough to provide effective insulation. Properly insulating the object or area by covering it completely with the insulating material will help prevent the flow of heat or electricity.
Fiberglass is an insulator. Its properties make it a good electrical insulator because it does not conduct electricity well.
rubber
Material with high porosity contains many small air pockets within its structure, which hinders the transfer of heat through conduction. These air pockets trap air molecules, preventing heat from easily passing through the material. This makes the material an effective thermal insulator by reducing heat transfer through conduction.
Trapped air makes a good insulator.
