The viscoelastic properties of gum rubbers and the properties of corresponding compounds are discussed. Representative examples are given to illustrate the important influence of gum rubber on the compound properties. A method for evaluating strain amplification and strain‐rate amplification is proposed. Examples are given to show the characterization of compounds with respect to the variation in gum rubbers and carbon black grades. The unique characteristics of compounds which are not observed in gum rubbers are also discussed.
