This study presents dynamic mechanical and impact properties of the new form of hybrid thermoplastic composites. The six composites of polyurethane/p-aramid multiaxial fabric forms (Kolon fabrics) were impregnated with 10 wt% poly(vinyl. butyral) (PVB)/ethanol solution with the addition of pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) where the PVB/fabric ratio was 20 wt%. All the composites consisted of four layers of the impregnated fabrics. The MWCNT/PVB content was 0, 0.5 and 1 wt%. The surface of the three composites with different MWCNT/PVB content was modified with gamma-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (AMEO silane)/ethanol solution.. The physical and dynamic mechanical properties of the prepared composite samples were analyzed by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and high speed puncture impact tester. The structures of the composite samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the Kolon/AMEO/PVB/1 wt% MWCNT sample yielded a 60 % improveme...nt in the storage modulus and a 73 % improvement in the impact absorbed energy compared to the Kolon/PVB sample. The carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were added to improve the dynamic mechanical and impact properties of the materials for ballistic protection.
