The comparative analysis of reinforcement efficiency (modulus of elasticity enhancement) of polymers with carbon nanotubes and grapheme was performed using the methods of fractal analysis and percolation theory. It has been shown that such comparison is correct only at the same structure of the indicated anisotropic nanofillers in polymer matrix. For carbon nanotubes reinforcement efficiency depends strongly on their geometry, i.e. length and outer diameter. In addition the main role in polymers reinforcement play not initial characteristics of nanofiller, but its structures, obtained in production process of nanocomposites. In technological aspect carbon nanotubes are more suitable for manufacture of high-modulus nanocomposites, that is due to possibility of simple enough realization of their orientation.

The results of a comparative analysis of the heat conductivity properties of polymer micro- and nanocomposites based on polyethylene obtained using methods based on the mixing of components in a dry form or a melt of a polymer matrix are submitted. For polyethylene, filled with carbon nanotubes and aluminum particles, data on the effect of methods of synthesis of composites on the values of percolation thresholds, the concentration dependence of the coefficients of heat conductivity, etc. are presented.

By virtue of high degree of anisotropy and small transverse stiffness, carbon nanotubes are known to form ring-shaped annular structures (fractal objects) in the polymer matrix of nanocomposites. We used the fractal dimension for quantitative and physically strict characterization of the nanofiller structure (carbon nanotubes) in the polymer matrix of nanocomposites. Two methods of calculation based on the models of irreversible aggregation and fractal analysis are proposed. The results obtained using both approaches match each other within 6%. It has been shown that formation of the annular structures occurs according to the cluster-cluster mechanism (i.e., by combining small formations into larger ones, rather than individual nanotubes). Moreover, the method of fractal analysis takes into account the effect of the polymer matrix on the structure of ring-shaped formations and, hence, on the properties of polymer nanocomposites. The correctness of the methods thus used was proved using the percolation model, which showed good agreement between the theory and experiment when using fractal dimensions determined by both methods. This means that for a fixed nanofiller content, the properties of nanocomposites are determined only by the nanofiller structure. In other words, a significant change in the properties (for the degree of reinforcement more than by an order of magnitude) is possible even at a low content of a nanofiller, which is realized only through change in the nanofiller structure using various methods of nanofiller treatment (ultrasound, functionalization, construction of special types of nanofiller frame, etc.).

Carbon nanotubes (nanofibers) form folded ring-like structures in the polymer nanocomposite that look like macromolecular tangles. This behavior of these nanofillers is due to their high degree of anisotropy and low transverse stiffness. In this case, the ring-like structures of the nanotubes are considered as a macromolecular tangle, and the polymer matrix is considered as a solvent. This interpretation of nanocomposites polymer/carbon nanotubes makes it necessary to study the possibility of implementing the gelation process in them, which is understood as the transition of liquid (easily mobile and viscous) microheterogenic or homogeneous systems to the solid-phase state of gel or jelly. Gel formation is caused by the appearance of a spatial phase or molecular grid (frame) in the volume of the liquid system, which deprives the system of fluidity and gives it some properties of a solid body (elasticity, plasticity, brittleness, strength), which is of particular interest in studying the properties of polymer nanocomposites. The purpose of this work is to study the properties of polymer/carbon nanotubes (nanofibers) nanocomposites in the framework of the percolation theory and the possibility of implementing the gelation process in them. The possibility of gel formation by carbon nanotubes (nanofilaments), which are simulated as macromolecular coils, in nanocomposites based on polypropylene, is studied within the framework of the fractal analysis and the percolation theory. The paper shows that for achieving the point of gel formation the specific (straight-line) configuration of the indicated nanofillers is necessary and realization of this effect can lead to a sharp discrete change of nanocomposites in consideration. The authors find out that the effective elastic modulus of nanofillers in the polymer matrix is defined not by their stiffness, but by the efficiency of transfer of the applied mechanical stress from the polymer matrix to the nanofiller.

The methodics of characterization of 2D-nanofiller tactoids structure in polymer matrix of nanocomposite was proposed, which shown that the indicated tactoids are fractal objects with dimension of 1.75-2.16. This variation of tactoids structural state is due to interfacial interactions. It has been shown within the framework of reinforcement percolation theory, that structure of tactoids is single factor, defining reinforcement efficiency is characterized by its ability to create interfacial regions.

The physical basis of realization of high-modulus and high-strength nanocomposites polymer/carbon nanotube, having mechanical characteristics comparable with the same ones for steel, were considered. Two main factors, allowing to create such nanocomposites, were defined – the structure of nanofiller in polymer matrix and large enough content of nanofiller. The indicated structure fractal dimension should be close to dimension of surrounding Euclidean space, i.e. three one. Besides, elastic modulus of nanofiller depends on stiffness of polymer matrix. Therefore additional drawing of nanocomposite gives two positive effects: reduction of waviness of carbon nanotubes and enhancement of elastic modulus of polymer matrix owing to orientation of its macromolecules.

Rare earth modified acidified carbon nanotubes were prepared by functionalization of acidified carbon nanotubes with different concentrations of LaCl3. The modification results were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The rare earth successfully increases the surface activity of the acidified carbon nanotubes. Polymer matrix composites were prepared by using the rare earth modified acidified carbon nanotubes as the reinforcement in epoxy matrix. Mechanical properties were analyzed by Zwick Z100 testing machine and the tribological behaviors were test by multifunctional tribological tester. Compared with pure epoxy (epoxy resin), the mechanical strength of the best composite sample was increased by 50–120%, the coefficient of friction was reduced by 19.4% and the wear rate was reduced by approximately 40 times. The experimental results show that the RE concentration of 0.2–0.3 wt% has the most obvious influence on the properties of polymer composites. The mechanism of rare earth reinforcement in polymer matrix is analyzed and suggested.
