            Abstract : 
In order to better know the behavior of dielectric composite materials, we employ a boundary integral equations method to calculate both the complex effective permittivity and the effective loss tangent of 3D lossy dielectric composite materials. The topological arrangements considered are periodic lattices of inclusions. A method for the exploitation of the results has been proposed
