Abstract
A concerted survey is presented of the existing theories for predicting the strength and modulus of particulate-filled polymeric composites. The macroscopic behaviour of particulate composites is affected by the size, shape, and the distribution of the inclusions. The interfacial adhesion between the matrix and inclusion is also important. The limitation of theoretical models in describing these parameters and expressing the experimental data on the macroscopic behaviour is demonstrated.
