Abstract
The cause of the minimum and further increase of hysteresis losses is related to the fact that the rubber network starts to exhibit limited stretchability at 30-100% elongation for carbon-filled rubber (while the rubber phase is elongated by 150-200%). This leads to the increase of elasticity modulus, and molecular chains become more rigid and less flexible. A relative slippage of rather rigid chains in the course of extension causes the energy loss in the rubber phase of a carbon-black-filled rubber, and the hysteresis losses increase in consequence.
