Composite materials of the invention contain a bulk resin and a filler material. The filler material is in the form of a particle having a particle size less than about 10 micrometers, preferably less than about 1 micrometer, and more preferably less than about 500 nanometers. The composite material is made of three phases-a bulk resin phase, a filler particle phase, and an interphase. The size and extent of the interphase is dependent on the amount and particle size of the filler material and the nature of the resin. The coefficient of thermal expansion or other property of the interphase region is intermediate between that of the bulk resin and the filler particles, and tend to be biased toward those of the filler particles. In a preferred embodiment, the filler material has a coefficient of thermal expansion lower than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the bulk resin.
