The concentration dependence of the strength of polymer composites with a dispersed filler σ = f(υ), where υ is the volume content of the component, has two characteristic forms. Curves 3 and 4 (Figure 1) are observed for nonreinforcing components of composites. Here, strength decreases with increasing volume content of the component. Such components are used to lower the cost of the end-product, or to recycle the component by encapsulating it in the matrix material.
