Data on the methods of stabilization and modification of nanosize particles used in the technology of development of new polymer-inorganic nanocomposites were analyzed and generalized. Advantages of the chemical method using silane-based surface-binding modifiers were discussed. The use of surface-initiated graft polymerization was shown to be promising for the solution of problems of deagglomeration, stabilization, and efficient homogenization of nanosize particles.
