Abstract. The nanocomposites polypropylene/carbon nanotubes melt viscosity change at nanofiller contents variation was studied. It has been shown that continuous models, developed for polymer composites melt viscosity description, cannot describe this parameter in the nanocomposites case. The correct description of the last rheological properties can be obtained within the frameworks of the fractal model of viscous liquid flow.
Key words: nanocomposite, carbon nanotubes, melt, viscosity, fractal model.
