The paper presents the fractal analysis which shows that the distribution or dispersion of 2D nanofiller (graphene oxide) particles in the polymer matrix of nanocomposite determines the critical index in the percolation model of nanocomposite reinforcement. The structure of the particle network or tactoidal aggregates of 2D nanofiller is connected with the finite structure of nanocomposite as a whole and also with the interface effects occurred. Correctness of proposed approach shows good agreement between theoretical calculations and experimental data.
