heal.abstract	The extent of mesophase, which constitutes the boundary layer between the filler and the matrix of a composite, was defined in this paper along the whole viscoelastic spectrum of the polymeric substance constituting the matrix. The already established two-term unfolding model was based on thermodynamic measurements of the heat capacity jumps at the glass transition regions of the filled and unfilled substances in order to define the extent of mesophase. In this paper the authors dispense with these delicate measurements, based on Lipatov's theory, and use values taken from the storage and loss compliances of the composite and its constituents, along the whole viscoelastic spectrum of the composite. Experimental evidence with typical E-glass polystyrene and other particulates, at various volume fractions of the filler, yielded a satisfactory coincidence with the results derived by using Lipatov's theory and a constancy of the mesophase thickness along the whole temperature range.	en
