If add 20% of Silver nanoparticles, Carbon Black, Graphene or CNTs to uncured polymer and let it polymerize which of all this would increase the stiffnss or young's modulus of compsite as compared to pure polymer.
Typically whatever particles you add into the polymer matrix, the modulus of the polymer will be improved. But the degree of enhancement depend on the interaction between particle and polymer, as well as the size and shape of the nanofillers. In general, the larger the aspect ratio of the filler, the larger increase in the modulus at the same particle loading. Hope this helps.
honestly, depends on the properties of the nano fillers that you choose and type of polymer, however, probably graphene will work for you. or ask the question with more details.

CNT or Graphene would be better because of their excellent mechanical strength.
theoretically cnt should give the best result, althogh that's depend on the degree of dispersion and their affinity with the polymer.
