An investigation was made and a description given of the rheological properties of spheroplastics based on hollow glass microspheres and epoxy oligomers in generalised parameters of their particulate-filled structure. It is shown that the main generalised parameters of the particulate-filled structure, determining the viscosity and fluidity limit, are the parameters aav and Θ, which depend on the packing of particles and their content in the composite. Dependences of viscosity and fluidity limit of particulate-filled polymer composites in generalised parameter coordinates are given for the first time, and the spheroplastics are classified according to the structural principle.
