heal.abstract	The determination of the cubic thermal expansion coefficient of a two-phase particulate is presented. The model described is based on the well-known Kerner's model and takes into account the existence of mesophase, which constitutes a boundary layer between inclusions and the matrix in the composite. The influence of this layer on the effective properties of the composite has been proved to be significant. In order to take into consideration the influence of mesophase a spherical shell with the average properties of this layer is interposed between the spherical inclusion and the matrix. The two-term unfolding model was extended to incorporate the mode of variation of the thermal expansion coefficient and the bulk modulus in the mesophase. The model was applied to a polyurethane rubber filled with particles of sodium chloride, and its predictions were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.	en
