The tensile behavior at 20°C of polystyrene‐glass‐bead composites has been studied at several glass concentrations. To gain insight into the role of interfacial adhesion, the bonding between glass and polystyrene was varied by using different silane coupling agents. In contrast to the elastic behavior, the crazing behavior of the composites was found to be considerably affected by the degree of interfacial adhesion. This is explained by means of the different mechanisms for craze formation at adhering and nonadhering glass beads, respectively. Furthermore, it was found that both elastic and crazing behavior of the composites are influenced by the glass bead concentration.
