Abstract: The paper is focused on evaluation of mechanical, dielectric and thermal properties of some new nanocomposites based on polystyrene containing various amounts of aluminum nitride. The characteristics of the polymer are determined using the connectivity indices formalism, while those corresponding to the nanocomposites are evaluated using the parallel and series models. The variation of the thermophysical properties with the volume fraction of the nanofiller is discussed

Keywords: polymer nanocomposites, mechanical properties, thermal properties
