It is shown how the global deformation mechanism in filler‐loaded vulcanizates were modified by additional filler‐to‐matrix bonds. A quantitative description is given in terms of an extended van der Waals treatment including the formulation of a reduced mechanical equation of state. An interpretation of the Mullins softening is presented.
