ABSTRACT

The applicability of irreversible aggregation model for theoretical description of nanofiller particles aggregation process in polymer nanocomposites has been shown. The main factors, influencing on nanoparticles aggregation process, were revealed. It has been shown that strongly expressed

particulate nanofiller particles aggregation results in sharp (in about four times) formed fractal aggregates real elasticity modulus reduction. Nanofiller particles aggregation is realized by cluster-cluster mechanism and results in the formed fractal aggregates density essential reduction, that is the cause of their elasticity modulus decreasing. As distinct from microcomposites nanocomposites require consideration of interfacial effects for elasticity modulus correct description in virtue of a well-known large fraction of phases division surfaces for them.
