ABSTRACT
The modern methods of experimental and theoretical analysis of polymer materials structure and properties allow not only to confirm earlier propounded hypotheses, but to obtain principally new results. Let us consider some important problems of particulate-filled polymer nanocomposites, the solution of which allows advancing substantially in these materials properties understanding and prediction. Polymer nanocomposites multicomponentness (multiphaseness) requires their structural components quantitative characteristics determination. In this aspect interfacial regions play a particular role, since it has been shown earlier, that they are the same reinforcing element in elastomeric nanocomposites as nanofiller actually [1]. Therefore the knowledge of interfacial layer dimensional characteristics is necessary for quantitative determination of one of the most important parameters of polymer composites in general – their reinforcement degree [2, 3].
