Abstract Sulfur‐ and peroxide‐cured natural rubbers (NR) reinforced with short fibers of cellulose and carbon black have been studied with respect to water absorption, crosslink density, tensile strength, and the dependence of the dynamic storage modulus on strain amplitude. The results indicate that there is bonding between fiber and matrix even in the absence of a specific bonding system.
