• Due to the unique structure and combination of extremely high durability, electrical and calorific conductivities, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are prospective fillers for polymer materials. The reinforcement of polymer by developed set-like form of CNT provides an increase in mechanical, electrical, and thermophysical properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility of nanocomposites. The manufacture of CNT and polymers (polypropylene, Teflon-4, and elastomers on the base of butadiene–nitrile and fluorinated rubbers) filled with nanotubes and nanofibers of various contents is described. The CNT and the nanocomposites are characterized in detail by structural and physicochemical methods. It is shown that not only bulk characteristics but also surface properties of filled polymers are changed and this explains better the biocompatibility of nanocomposites, which is observed in in vivo experiments.
