Complex physical behavior of ethylene‐vinylacetate (EVA)/nickel composites was investigated in this article. The presence of Ni in EVA matrix leads to an increase of surface hydrophilicity. The peel strength of adhesive joints of EVA/nickel composites to aluminum is sharply increased up to 10 vol% of Ni, followed by a subsequent decrease. The investigated composites are highly elastic and deformable. Young's modulus of composites increases steeply only for concentrations up to 15 vol%. The thermal conductivity of composites significantly increases by the presence of nickel. An interesting correlation between thermal conductivity and relative permittivity of composites was observed.
