Efforts in the field of polymeric nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes are presented in the literature from many years. The discussed problems are connected with the characterization of nanocomposites and the modeling of elastic and fracture behavior at the nanoscale. The experimental investigations and the theoretical modeling are conducted simultaneously. The theoretical approaches try to elucidate the experimental observations. In the present paper a brief overview of the analytical and numerical modeling of polymeric nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nanotubes is presented. The attention is mainly focused on the molecular dynamic models, the continuum mechanics approaches and finally the multi-scale models are discussed. The good and wrong sides of the models are pinpointed. Also a comparison between values of Young's modulus of carbon nanotube/polymer nanocomposites for various methods is presented.
