AB - A theoretical relationship has been developed which relates the ultimate strength of a composite containing spherical fillers to the size, volume fraction, and surface adhesion of the dispersed phase. The theoretical predictions are compared to experimental data using glass beads of known diameters in polyester resin matrix. Results were compared for the case of poor adhesion between the glass beads and the matrix and for the case of good adhesion. The derived relationships should be useful in helping to optimize the strength properties of particulate reinforced systems.
