Abstract
We extend a previously developed diagrammatic formalism for the calculation of the effective dielectric response of composites, prepared as a collection of small spherical inclusions embedded in an otherwise homogeneous matrix. This is done within the long wavelength, dipolar approximation for a low filling fraction of spheres. We propose a new diagrammatic approximation and we compare our results with recently reported numerical simulations.
