Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) corresponding to the high electrical and thermal conductivity and excellent mechanical properties are ideal fillers for polymer composites. In this work, 5, 10, and 15 wt % of functionalized multi-walled CNTs (f-MWCNT) were incorporated into the alanine-based poly(amide-imide) matrix using a solution mixing technique for the preparation of nanocomposites. Here, we show the effect of the addition of well-dispersed f-MWCNT as demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy on the thermal behavior of the composites. Thermal analysis results showed self-extinguishing feature for the obtained NCs.
