Initially, a water-soluble polyamic acid (PAmA) solution was synthesized utilizing ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride and 2,2-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine). The incorporation of ether linkages and amic acid functional groups into the polymer backbone generates numerous polar sites, thereby facilitating the formation of a stable aqueous organosilane dispersion predominantly composed of 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS), without the use of surfactants or additional salts. Additionally, 25 wt % of GPTMS can be replaced with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), which serves primarily as a crosslinking agent and a precursor for nanosilica, resulting in an aqueous organic/inorganic dispersion under optimized conditions. Comparative analyses with reference samples, such as polyacrylic acid dispersion, demonstrated a higher degree of condensation of 94.6% for the organic/inorganic dispersion in PAmA, as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and <sup>29</sup>Si-NMR following sol-gel reactions. These results indicate the formation of extensive cross-linking sites and a silica network, which serves as passive layers, yielding a thermal decomposition temperature exceeding 380 °C for the organic/inorganic layer produced by the PAmA polymer. Notably, the application of the PAmA solution not only enhanced cross-linking density and facilitated the formation of a silica network for the organic/inorganic dispersion but also provided the formation of imide structures, leading to a robust sol-gel-derived hybrid coating system, consistent with findings from FTIR and DSC analyses.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of urethane linkage in PU and the interaction between PU chains and HNTs. Scanning electron microscope showed well homogeneity and dispersion of HNTs. The presence of HNTs also affected the mobility of PU chains, a reduction in crystallinity and glass transition temperature (<i>T</i><sub>g</sub>) were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively.

The key findings demonstrated that adding HNTs enhanced the estimated ionic conductivity and dielectric properties.
