A novel composite was prepared by the addition of a dough‐modeling compound (DMC) reinforcement and an ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM)/acrylic rubber (ACM) matrix. We studied the DMC/EPDM/ACM mass ratio and vulcanizing process by testing the tensile strength, Shore A hardness, elongation at break, and wear and thermal properties. The results show that the mechanical properties, thermal properties, and wear resistance of the composites were good when the DMC/EPDM/ACM mass ratio was 70/25/75 and the cure conditions were 180°C under 10 MPa for 25 min. The crosslinking structure of the composites was studied by IR, and this further proved the interaction between DMC, ACM, and EPDM. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
