An empirical model is proposed for viscosity of elastomers containing one or more fillers and/or one or more plasticizers. Only one coefficient for each filler and plasticizer is required, and the coefficients themselves are viewed as basic filler and plasticizer characteristics. The model has found wide applicability to many elastomer systems.
