Abstract. As it is known, any real fractal object can be simulated as a bulk or surface fractal. In the first case the structure fractality is extended to the entire volume of the object and in the second one – to its surface. For nanocomposites, the matrix of which makes up polymer poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(butylene terephthalate) blend, the fractal dimensions of both structure and surface of ring-like formations of nanofiller (multiwalled CNT) were calculated. It has been found out that in case of their notion as bulk fractals, i.e. matrix polymer penetration in ring-like formations internal regions, the strong enhancement of the nanocomposites melt viscosity is observed and in case of surface fractals this parameter is independent on nanofiller contents.
Key words: nanocomposite, blend, carbon nanotubes, melt, viscosity, fractal.
