The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of hallow glass bublles (HGB) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in the polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix on water absorption. The research was carried out in the laboratory on six compositions of hybrid materials with HGB content between 30% and 10% and MWCNT between 2% and 15%. After 336 hours of immersion, it was highlighted that water absorption has increased over time, and the growth rate is a maximum of 168 hours. HGB increases water absorption while MWCNT decreases polyamide water absorption by 10%.
