It has been shown that the main mechanical properties of polymeric materials number can be described properly within the frameworksn of a single fractal model. This means that the indicated properties are defined by polymeric matrix structure basically, modified by filler introduction.

There has been shown the existence of nano-adhesion effect in the disperse-filled polymer nanocomposites, which significantly influences the decrease of thermal expansion coefficient and the increase of elasticity modulus. The degree of nanocomposites' reinforcement has been stated to be influenced by the properties of polymer matrix, nanofiller and the degree of interphase adhesion.
