This work is aimed at preparing polymer nanocomposites or, in the case of high-filled composites with a metal content of over 50%, organometallic nanoalloys by explosive processing of powder polymer-metal mixes with a metal dispersion of no more than 100m. The nanostructuring is a result of the jet-like flow, intense localized plastic deformation, the crushing of initial structural components followed by their activation, and turbulent hashing. These simultaneous processes are accompanied by destructive-recombination reactions in the polymer and in the adhesive interaction of the components.
