Summary: The effect of fulleroids (fullerene C 60 , mixture of C 60 /C 70 and fulleroids soot which used for fullerenes production) and carbon fillers (carbon black, graphite) on mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites based on reactoplasts (epoxy resins) and thermoplasts (polyamide‐12) was investigated. The nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. It was found that additives of these fillers did not influenced on the properties of reactoplasts. Therefore, the tensile modulus and tensile strength of thermoplast based polymer nanocomposites are improved by about 30‐40% with loading of 0.02‐0.08 fulleroids materials. Best results were obtained for a mixture of C 60 /C 70 .
