The effect of various inorganic fillers on the storage modulus of four elastomers was determined experimentally. Results are interpreted using the Kerner equation, modified to include a parameter, B , in the volume fraction terms. This factor combines particle size and specific interaction effects, and in theory can be evaluated from energy dissipation measurements.
