Abstract
High damping rubber vulcanizates with good physical properties and a small dependence of properties on temperature are candidates for use in bushings and other bearings. Classically high damping may be achieved by either using a rubber with inherent high damping or by adding high levels of fillers and plasticizers to one which has low damping. Both approaches fail to provide the necessary combination of properties; rubbers which are highly damping also show a strong dependence of properties on temperature, whilst the use of high levels of filler and plasticizer, generally used with a low level of curatives, leads to unsatisfactory physical properties.
