FINDINGS
: It is shown that the dimension of the space in which the structure of the nanoscale filler is formed in the polymer matrix determines its type. The elastic modulus of the forming filler structure depends on the processing conditions of the nanocomposite. The formation of continuous nanofiller structures (chain, percolation, etc.) reduces their elastic modulus compared to local structures (aggregates, clusters), which affects the degree of reinforcement of polymer nanocomposites. Ultimately, the elastic modulus of the nanofiller is determined by the type of its structure and the rigidity of the polymer matrix.
