Modulus–composition data obtained on a model three‐component particulate composite comprising a finely divided dispersed rubber phase and inorganic glass beads in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix cannot be represented appropriately in terms of the multicomponent form of the well‐known Kerner equation. The data are more nearly in accord with a model based on the assumption that the dispersed rubber phase and the PMMA matrix, taken together, constitute an effective matrix for the glass bead filler. Interparticle interactions are discussed in terms of a maximum packing fraction for each filler species; interspecies interactions are found to be minor for the system studied.
