Due to fast fabrication process, low manufacturing cost and mass production properties of thermoplastics, thermoplastic composites are being used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, wind turbines etc. On the other hand thermoplastic composites have some disadvantages against thermoset such as thermoplastic resin have very high viscosity. In order to overcome the high viscosity issues, some of the thermoplastics polymers were produced in the form of fibers. Commingled fibers content the mixing of matrix fiber and reinforcing fiber. Biaxial weft-knitted fabrics include weft and warp yarn layers. Commingled fibers can be used as weft and warp yarns in biaxial weft-knitted fabrics. It is possible to fabricate thermoplastic composites by using biaxial weft- knitted fabrics. Carbon Nanotube is an allotropic of carbon element [1]. In other words, they are obtained by cylindrical wrapping of plates in the form of honey pellets. In shapely carbon nanotube structures, atoms are connected to each other by sp2 (like graphite), atoms form hexagonal geometry, and each atom has only three neighbours. Carbon nanotubes have high resistance to impacts such as compression, bending, twisting due to hole structures and high length / diameter ratios [2]. There are single-layer (single-walled) or multi-layer (multi-walled) carbon nanotubes. Previous scientific investigations have demonstrated that multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) have higher resistance to chemicals than single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs). Carbon nanotubes are one hundred times stronger than steel, and weight is one sixth. Steel is harder at the same time. Therefore, CNTs are the most robust material known to have high corrosion resistance [3]. There are some studies on the improvement of interfacial and mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites by incorporating CNT into composites by fiber coating. From here it is aimed to increase the flexural properties of the new nanocomposite which we will produce by improving the bonding of the resin / fiber interface, thus reaching new areas of use.
