Abstract Temperature dependencies of viscoelastic functions of the three‐component models of composite materials in the transition state temperature range of polymer binder have been studied. On the basis of theoretical calculations for the models, a conclusion has been made about the conditions for shift of the relaxation maxima along the temperature axis. Also conditions for their resolubility on tan δ curves were determined for materials such as filled polymers as well as anisotropic laminated and reinforced plastics with deformation of the components in series. These effects are due to the change in properties of the boundary layer of the polymer. They are entirely dependent on the concentration ratio between the boundary layer and the bulk of the binder polymer and on the difference in their glass temperatures T g . Concentration of the high‐modulus filler affects T g of the composition. This is due to the change in the ratio of concentrations of the polymer in the boundary layer and in the bulk. With parallel deformation of the components of the three‐component model, resolubility and shift of the relaxation maxima depend not only on the above factors, but also on the reinforcing filler concentration.
