Abstract: It has been shown that carbon nanotubes (nanofilaments) real anisotropy reduction in polymer nanocomposites at nanofiller contents growth is due to structural factor, namely, the indicated nanofillers ring-like structures formation. The anisotropy degree reduction results in nanocomposites polymer/carbon nanotubes (nanofilaments) reinforcement degree decreasing.

Keywords: nanocomposite, carbon nanotubes (nanofilaments), anisotropy, ring-like structure, reinforcement degree.
