The intercalation of organic compound is necessary to functionalize the montmorillonite surface. So, the intercalation of diethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol and the influence of plasticizer, namely tricresyl phosphate and isodecyldiphenyl phosphate as co-intercalating agents were studied. For the PVC/clay nanocomposites the suspension type of PVC was used and the compound was prepared by the melt intercalation method. Two kinds of MMT (Cloisite registered Na{sup +}, Cloisite registered 30B) and laboratory modified MMT by intercalation (diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol) and co-intercalation (tricresyl phosphate and isodecildifenyl phosphate) agents were used for the set of nanocomposite samples. The thermal stability of nanocomposite specimens was tested using of thermo gravimetric analysis, DMA and pH method.
