The dependences of the rubbery modulus of nanocomposites on the concentration of nanoparticles and their size were analysed. The chemical structure of the polymer network and the number of recurrent units of the linear chains between crosslinked points were taken into account. Experimental verification was done on the basis of styrene butadiene rubber filled with SiO2 particles.
