contents The paper analyzes theoretically the influence of fullerenes on the characteristics of $\mathrm{Al/C}_{60}$ composites. The molecular dynamics method is used to study the dependences of density and stiffness constants on the concentration of inclusions, and to calculate the values of the bulk and shear moduli for isotropic polycrystalline nanocomposites. The analysis shows that interfacial interaction significantly affects the properties of nanocomposites. This effect can be taken into account within the framework of the theory of heterogeneous media using the interphase layer model. The properties of the interphase layer are determined by interfacial interaction and can be calculated by approximating the results of molecular dynamics calculations. Using assumptions about the simplified form of the two-particle distribution function allows the interfacial interaction energy to be calculated and the interphase layer properties to be assessed analytically. The paper compares numerical results and analytical estimates, and discusses the validity of the approximations used. The analysis performed on the example of an $\mathrm{Al/C}_{60}$ composite material demonstrates the feasibility of using the analytical model of the interphase layer to estimate the effective density and elastic moduli of heterogeneous media with nano-inhomogeneities.
