The images relate to the clustered microstructure. (a) Sub-domain 170 × 170 of the target pattern with silica ramified compact inclusions in a rubber matrix (adapted from [34]); (b) Initial configuration of synthetic clusters with the energy Estart = 7 × 10−3; (c) Optimized microstructure obtained under simulated annealing (SA) modified for clusters after 792 accepted MC-steps with Εfinal = 6.7 × 10−5 < tolerance δ = 7 × 10−5.
