This paper describes the first steps in the area of prediction mechanical properties of nanotubes-plastic composites. Multi-level approach is used in order to take into account all the known data about all levels of composite material. Effective (macroscopic) mechanical properties are produced from solution of inverse boundary problem of continuum medium mechanics with coordinate-dependent elastic tensor. Theoretical results are compared with known experiment [1] on reinforcing polystyrene film.
