This paper presents a preliminary investigation on the effects of incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNT) into polyamide-6 (PA6) on mechanical, thermal properties and fire performance of woven glass reinforced CNT/PA6 nanocomposite laminates. The samples were characterized by tensile and flexural tests, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), heat distortion temperature (HDT) measurements, thermal conductivity and cone calorimeter tests. Incorporation of up to 2 wt % CNT in CNT/PA6/GF laminates improved the flexural stress of the laminates up to 36 % , the thermal conductivity by approximately 42 % and the ignition time and peak HRR time was delayed by approximately 31 % and 118 % , respectively.
