The investigation of electric and dielectric properties of the systems based on polypropylene glycol and carbon nanotubes, which contain inorganic salt LiClO$_4$ and without salt, was conducted using the method of impedance spectroscopy. It was discovered that these systems show a fractal behavior. The percolation thresholds of the probed systems is determined, it is 0.45\% and 0.40\%, accordingly. It was set that the processes of charges transfer are described well within the framework of the model of intercluster polarization. For the system PPG-LiClO$_4$-CNT the so-called, ‟bridge” effect takes place which leads to the decrease of the prcolating threshold.
