This purpose of this work is the evaluation the low-temperature resonant tunneling method for measuring the concentration of fullerenes in organosilicon composites. The study showed that the low-temperature resonant tunneling method gives highly accurate results due to the prevalence of tunnel-emission-type conductivity in organosilicon polymers at low temperatures around 77–180 K. The Poole–Frenkel hopping conduction and the Fowler–Nordheim tunnel emission models were used for analysis.
