Popis: Polymer/clay-based composites were prepared via solution intercalation method using natural clay and poly (ethylene) glycol (PEG4000) as organic dispersed phase. The present work consists of studying the effect of PEG content on the hybrids surface morphology, thermal stability and thermophysical properties. On the other hand, the TGA data and the measured thermophysical properties are, respectively, fitted with a logistic-like laws and virial expansions for different polymer contents. The results showed that the experimental data agree with the proposed theoretical models. Furthermore, the incorporation of the PEG chains into the clay matrix improves both the thermal stability and thermal characteristics of the raw clay. The thermophysical properties data showed that the elaborated hybrid acts as good thermal insulator for polymer contents higher than $$2.5\%$$ . Finally, the resulting clay-based composite showed not only interesting characteristics in terms of insulation, but also satisfies both economic and environmental requirements.
