Thermal Expansion of Composite Materials

Abstract
An equation for predicting the thermal expansion coefficient of dilute binary composites is presented treating the dispersed particles as elastic spheres and taking into consideration the physical interactions between the dispersed phase and the matrix. Application of this particular equation to a variety of systems such as ceramic‐glass, glass‐metal, metal‐metal, and organic‐metal, is discussed, as well as the application of other equations to other material systems extant in the literature.
