Theoretical analysis of obtained results for these different fillers in such elastomer matrix allows to conclude that the reason for strength reinforcement of these composites is due to the redistribution of valence π electrons of butadiene-styrene rubber between acceptor fillers and the donor matrix of the elastomer. The resulting interatomic interactions lead to more uniform distribution of fillers in the rubber matrix and the corresponding effects of enhancing the physico-mechanical charac-

The comprehensive study of SPM and physico-mechanical tests of the new model samples of rubbers based on butadiene-styrene rubber SBR-30 ARK filled with micro- and nanoshungit modified by organosilanes yielded important data on the properties of the investigated objects. Comparison of the SPM data with the results of tensile testing machine on the characteristics of these composites has allowed to conduct cross-correlation. The use of SPM made also possible to determine the patterns of distribution of aggregates and agglomerates of taurit, diatomite, and Neosyl-120 in composites with butadiene-styrene rubber. The morphology and micro-nanometer range of the length of these aggregates in the synthesized materials has been established. A correlation between the enhancement of the physico-mechanical properties of the synthesized composite materials and the distribution of the used fillers in the elastomeric matrix was established. The proposed method of grinding the studied minerals in the laboratory allows to significantly increase the strength characteristics of the rubbers filled by them, indicating that they can be used as reinforcing fillers for elastomeric composites. These results are important for both the fundamentals of the theory of the rein-
