The nanofiller of noble metal may modify the properties of the polymer- noble metal composite even if the concentration of the metal nanoparticles is very low. The aim of this paper is to study the influence of colloidal particles in nanocomposites. For our studies we have selected polymethyl methacrylate-palladium nanocomposite. It is shown that the effective radius of the immobilised matrix environment is much greater than the radius of the palladium particles. Due to the binding of the matrix polymer and the palladium surface some volume of the surrounding matrix becomes immobilised giving rise to the effective increase in the size of the palladium filler. The analysis of a few models of nanocomposites used for interpretation of the mechanical properties has also been presented.
