Glass-filled polymers with a matching refractive between polymer and glass might combine transparency. In this paper the transparency of glassfilled polymers transparency and haze, model-like specimens consisting out of a cuvette filled with oil and glass fillers were prepared. The haze of these specimens is strongly dependent on the refractive index difference between oil and filler material and is close to zero at a matching refractive index. On the basis of these measurements an empirical model for the calculation of transparency and haze is created. The results provided by this model show a good match with the measured values of the specimens and also with results of experiments described in literature. Based on the model, calculated graphs to determine the haze of glass-filled polymers in dependence of the specific filler surface area, the refractive index difference, the wavelength and the sample thickness.
