Thermally stable thermoplastic elastomer nanocomposites based on polyamide 6 (PA6), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were dynamically vulcanized, and their nonisothermal decomposition kinetics were examined. The Friedman, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), Ozawa–Wall–Flynn (FWO), and modified Coats–Redfern (m‐CR) isoconversional models were used to obtain information about the kinetics of the thermal decomposition of PA6–NBR–HNTs in terms of the activation energy per partial mass loss monitored through thermogravimetric analyses performed at different heating rates. An erratic trend was due to the Friedman model, especially for systems having higher HNT loadings, whereas the KAS, FWO, and m‐CR models revealed very similar meaningful thermal decomposition kinetics. A relatively high activation energy corroborating a reliable thermal stability was obtained by the addition of HNTs to PA6–NBR, and the resistance against decomposition was higher for systems containing more HNT. This signified the role of the HNTs as thermal stability modifiers
