Abstract
The behavior of the effective bulk conductivity and of the effective bulk dielectric constant of a heterogeneous mixture of a conducting phase and an insulating dielectric phase is analyzed in the vicinity of the percolation threshold. Exact considerations of a general nature lead to the conclusion that diverges as the conductivity threshold is approached from either side. The introduction of a homogeneity or scaling hypothesis leads to relations between the critical behavior of and .
