TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new concept with a new interface model for carbon black reinforcement of elastomer, based on stress analysis, which consists of double uncrosslinked polymer layers of different molecular mobility, the inner glassy hard (GH) layer, and the outer sticky hard (SH) layer surrounding a carbon particle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the initial size of the abrasion pattern, pattern spacing, equals the distance determined by the natural period of the rubber and the mean sliding velocity while the constant pattern spacing after the critical number of frictional slidings agrees with the distance given by the stick-slip oscillation and the means sliding velocity.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanism of rubber abrasion was reconfirmed not only in unfilled and filled NR but also in SBR and silicone rubber, and the initial pattern spacing agreed with the distance determined by the relation between the natural frequency of the material and the mean sliding velocity.

TL;DR: In this paper, an anti-seismic device consisting of a rubber bearing and dampers arranged in parallel is presented. But the damper is composed mainly of a viscoelastic material having the physical properties described below.
