The temperature and frequency dependences of the complex shear modulus G * and tan δ of mechanical losses of epoxy compositions with various fillers were studied. The method of Ninomiya‐Ferry applied to the reduced curves of frequency dependence of the effective part of the shear modulus was used to draw up relaxation time spectra for specimens with various concentrations of the filler. Regularities in the change of type and position of the spectral curves with increase in filler concentration were indicated. The findings make it possible to draw conclusions about the effect of the filler on the properties of the polymer matrix in the boundary layer and about changes in the conditions of the deformation of the polymer interlayers between the filler particles as compared with the deformations in bulk specimens.
