For the development of new compositions of modified powder mixtures a comprehensive analysis of the technical characteristics of powder additives is required. The specific surfaces of nanosized powders of "Tarkosil" silicone dioxide were determined by the experimental method. Therefore, at present, the estimating relationships of sizes, particles shapes and specific surface area of nanosized powder is relevant scientific and practical task. And the particles shape was evaluated by the values of these surfaces. Using the method of small-angle scattering the functions of distribution of the modifying powders particles on their sizes were estimated, and the average values of particles size of "Tarkosil" powder were specified The particle shape of the modifying powders has been estimated according to the specific surface values. The particle shapes of T50 powders are close to isometric (a ball, a cube); particle shapes of T150 powders correspond to a tetrahedron, the particle size T80 and T110 corresponds to the intermediate value of the specific surface area.
