Any material that electricity can't pass through is classed as an insulator. Examples of insulators are glass, ceramics, plastic, dry wood, and so on.
"insulators"
Insulators are made of non conductive materials and that is the point. Insulators are used to prevent electrical current from leaving the circuit being utilized.
Any covalent substance (a substance that contains no metal elements) will not let electrons flow and with therefore not conduct electricity. Ionic substances do not carry electrical current either, except for when in a liquid form or in a solution, where ions are free to flow with their respective charges.
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. The main materials that do not allow the easy flow of electrons are rubber, nylon wood, glass, ceramic, plastic and free air.
The current cannot pass through the oils.Oils are moleculer so molecules cannot conduct electric current

Insulators
this stops current from passing between two pieces of the circuit, for example, there is a piece of Dieletric in a capacitor, this is so current cannot travel between the two separate plates, and if there is no current between a positive and a negatice plate then there is not electrical field
Something that when touched cannot allow an electrical current to pass through it, an example of a non-conductor would be wood.

Circuits are used anywhere you want to have an electrical current flow. Without a circuit, you cannot have current flow. Without current flow, you cannot do any work.
There are types of aluminum and carbon crystals that can be seen through. Then there is meta-materials, like invisibility cloaks, but they are beyond our current technology.
Not really, insulators simply cannot support the passage of an electric current.

You cannot 'store' current, because, by definition, current is a movement of electrical charge along a conductor. You cannot store something that is moving.
