The formalism of the present theory for the time-dependent and steady transport properties of composite media containing randomly-placed aligned slender fibers is based on a diagrammatic representation of the multiple-scattering expansion of the configurational-averaged Green's function. This approach is systematic, and retains a unique subset of the multiple scattering series at each level of approximation. The formalism is applied to the specific cases of steady diffusion-controlled reaction and heat-conduction processes in composites containing slender aligned rods, for both the dilute and semidilute regimes. 37 references.
