Abstract
The automobile rubber products manufacturing industry has expressed a long-standing need for high damping rubbers which combine good physical properties with a low dependence of dynamic properties on temperature. Elastomers with inherently high damping have a high dependence of properties on temperature because the damping derives from relatively high glass transition temperatures (T g). An alternative approach of using natural rubber (NR) with high levels of carbon black and oil but relatively low crosslink densities limits the degree of damping attainable and gives rather poor physical properties.
