It resulted that G is well dispersed in PA6 up to 2.0{\^A} wt owing to electrostatic contact. A clear increment in degradation temperature and a drop in extreme degradation degree is detected from the thermogravimetric experiment for PA6-G compounds. The G inclusion to PA6 amended flame-protection of PA6-G compounds by delaying smoke density and reduction of flammable gas. This work proved an appropriate formulation of polymer/G compounds applied to engineering materials; develop the types of compounds with nano-additives. {\^A}{\copyright} 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor \& Francis Group.}, keywords = {Additives; Smoke, Degradation degree; Degradation temperatures; Engineering materials; Flammable gas; Nano additives; Smoke density; Thermo-gravimetric experiments; Well-dispersed, Graphene} }
