Yes! It is a good insulator. I have used it recently in a science project.
The problem with using cardboard as an insulator is that it is too easily damaged in a variety of ways. It tears easily, it can be set on fire relatively easily, it absorbs water very easily and it will disintegrate or become moldy, if it does get wet. So although cardboard is an insulator, it is not durable enough for most purposes that require an insulator.
Cardboard is an insulator in dry state.But when it is wet it can conduct electricity
Cardboard is composed of cellulose a polymer that has no free electrons. Without free electrons materials can neither conduct electricity or heat efficiently. If you are referring to corrugated cardboard it is an even better heat insulator because the corrugations capture and immobilize air which almost completely prevents the movement of heat.
yes
Cardboard is an insulator of electricity. It is not the best insulator to use for this as cardboard can be affected by moisture and any corrosion of nearby batteries. If it becomes wet with an electrolyte solution (such as salt water), it could become a conductor under certain conditions.To test this, put a battery and a light in series and leave the contacts open between the light and the battery. Then touch the wire to the cardboard and the cardboard to the battery. The light will not light up.

Corrugated Plastic
Cardboard is made of lots of paper together. they are both made of fiber.
Corrugated cardboard sheets may be used for messy projects that require a surface to work on, such a polishing shoes. Furthermore, corrugated cardboard is useful for shipping products.

Foam makes a good insulator so how about an absolutely dry sponge? or cotton balls? Almost as good would be lint from the clothes dryer filter. Traditional blankets are designed to be good insulators as are most of the materials used to stuff pillows and quilts. While you probably do not want to destroy any you are still using, ... Sawdust used to be a common household item and makes for a reasonable insulator. Many households have bubble wrap - the variety with the smaller bubbles should work reasonably well. You could even use corrugated cardboard from a box. (Plain (i.e. not corrugated) cardboard is not very good.) i got my anser from another dude
"du carton" corrugated cardboard = du carton ondulé

Home Depot and Lowes give you a vast range of options in corrugated cardboard. The deals are amazing and very low priced compared to the prices of other stores.
Triple wall corrugated cardboard is the strongest cardboard. It has four surfaces, the outer walls and the two sides to the corrugation.
