The present study showed that in carbon plastics the structure of a short‐fiber system (network) can be described by the effective degree of volume filling or by the fractal dimension of the system. Using the effective degree of filling, synergetic behavior was found, and the filler efficiency of the carbon plastics was characterized within the framework of the fractal model of reinforcement. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
