Is there a correlation between electrical isolation and thermal insulation ?
Ie: If something is a good electrical isolator, can it be said that it will also be a good thermal insulator ?

Yes but also No. Depends on the material used for the thermal isolation.
Silver backed paper may be a good thermal insulator, but the silver will conduct electricity.

Carbon can conduct electricity well, but is not a particularly good conductor of heat.
