Abstract The dynamic properties of a series of unvulcanized rubbers (cis-polybutadienes, Na-polybutadiene, cis-polyisoprene, butyl rubber, polyisobutylene, and ethylene-propylene copolymer) have been investigated in a low-frequency dynamic testing machine and a frequency rheometer on the frequency range from 5 · 10−2 to 4.5 · 103 Hz at temperatures of 25 and 60°C. At these temperatures the mechanical loss factor is the most sensitive criterion of transitions from one physical state of the polymer to another. For all the specimens investigated on the experimental range of angular frequencies the modulus of the complex dynamic viscosity and the effective viscosity determined under static conditions coincide, assuming the equivalence of angular frequencies and shear rates.
