The potential of applying the fractal analysis to the description of the structure and properties of polymer composites dispersedly-filled with nano- and micro-size particles is discussed. Much attention is paid to such important for above media problems as structure and properties of the inter-phase layers and aggregation of disperse filler particles in a polymeric composite matrix. Qualitative evaluations and physical interpretation of the alteration of the properties (reinforcement effect) of polymer composites filled with disperse particles at different scale levels is considered, taking into account the fractal parameters.
