The elastic modulus of polyepichlorohydrin (PECH) filled with glass beads and wollastonite was studied. It was found that the elastic modulus of the composites depends not only on the volume fraction of the fillers but also on their size. Percolation theory was used to explain the experimental results. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
