Self‐reinforced composites (SRCs) based on different blends of PA6, PA12, and multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as matrices and a PA6.6 plain woven fabric as reinforcement were prepared by the film stacking method. The morphology of the SRCs was analyzed using optical and scanning electron micr...
