This study aims to examine the improvement of thermal properties and electrical conductivity of PC-PBT blends through reinforcement with hybrid MWCNT-GNP nanofillers via melt-mixing. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the incorporation of nanofillers increased the crystallinity of the blends. On the other hand, a marginal decline in thermal stability was observed in the case of higher filler concentrations which was ascribed to the phase transitions within the polymer matrix. A conductive network was achieved with 5% wt. MWCNT-GNP weight fraction, and a notable reduction of 7 % was observed which was attributed to agglomeration effects. These findings reveal the importance of optimizing nanofiller concentration to achieve superior thermal and electrical performance in hybrid nanocomposites.
