1 INTRODUCTION
The modification of polymers is of considerable significance from a material science and engineering point of view. Enhancing the modulus of polymers with the addition of inorganic fillers is one of the approaches available. The modulus of polymer composites has been extensively studied experimentally and treated with a two-phase model by various researchers, as reviewed by Ahmed and Jones (1). The earliest theory of rigid Inclusions in a non-rigid matrix is based on Einstein's equation (2) for the viscosity of the suspension of rigid spherical particles. The assumption that this equation held for the change of the modulus of composites (3-5) led ...
