Monte Carlo computer simulations have been performed for model polymers containing randomly distributed spherical filler particles (20% in volume) with diameter between 4 times and 28 times the transverse diameter of the chains. By analyzing the results in conjunction with those of previous simulations, a few simple rules are deduced allowing to predict approximately the molecular arrangements in these complex systems.Schematic two‐dimensional picture of the mutual arrangements of filler particles and chains predicted for system M 12 .
