The interfacial layer thickness and its elasticity modulus were determined experimentally for particulate-filled polymer nanocomposite. It has been found out that elasticity modulus of interfacial layer is 5 times greater than corresponding characteristic for bulk polymer matrix. It has been shown that the theoretical calculation of interfacial layer thickness within the frameworks of fractal model corresponds well to experimental data.
