ABSTRACT

The experimental analysis of particulate-filled nanocomposites butadienestirene rubber/fullerene-containing mineral (nanoshungite) was fulfilled with the aid of force-atomic microscopy, nanoindentation methods and computer treatment. The theoretical analysis was carried out within the frameworks of fractal analysis. It has been shown that interfacial regions in the mentioned nanocomposites are the same reinforcing element as nanofiller actually. The conditions of the transition from nano-to microsystems were discussed. The fractal analysis of nanoshungite particles aggregation in polymer matrix was performed. In has been shown that reinforcement of the studied nanocomposites is a true nanoeffect.
