Organic nickel‐iron layered double hydroxides (ONiFe‐LDH) were assembled on carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through co‐precipitation method and characterized. EP/ONiFe‐LDH‐CNTs nanocomposites containing 4 wt% of ONiFe‐LDH‐CNTs with different ratios of ONiFe‐LDH and CNTS were prepared by ultrasonic dispersion and program temperature curing method. Strong combination of the above nanofillers with the EP matrix provided an efficient thermal and flame retardant improvement for the resulting nanocomposites. It is showed that EP containing 4 wt% ONiFe‐LDH‐CNTs hybrid exhibited superior flame retardant and thermal properties compared with pure EP.
