Multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) modified polyvinylacetate nanocomposites (PVAc) are investigated. PVAc/CNT nanocomposites are obtained by using solution casting technique. Stress‐strain characteristics of PVAc/CNT nanocomposites clearly reveal remarkable reinforcing effect of CNT additions already at small weight contents (up to 2 wt.%). Mathematical model for prediction of elastic properties of CNT polymer nanocomposites is proposed.
