ABSTRACT
The experimental analysis of particulate-filled nanocomposites butadiene-styrene 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 aforementioned nanocomposites are the same reinforcing element as nanofiller. The conditions of the transition from nano to microsystems were discussed. The fractal analysis of nanoshungite particles aggregation in polymer matrix was performed. It has been shown that reinforcement of the studied nanocomposites is a true nanoeffect.
