A study was made of the possibility of using nanosized fillers for improving the physicomechanical properties of plastic foams based on organosilicon binders. The expediency is shown of using carbon nanotubes in small quantities (0.05-0.2 wt%) to increase the maximum compression strength and the compression set under maximum load.
