Development of a Nitrile Rubber for Dynamic Damping

Abstract

Nitrile rubber was used as the basis for developing a damper for the TR-317R tail mass assembly. The frequency of the maximum in loss tangent for nitrile rubbers were shown to depend strongly on acrylonitrile content of the polymer and, to a lesser extent, on the carbon black. Details of the application of the formulation that provides the best performance are given. Keywords: Neoprene, Elastomers, Acoustical materials.
