Abstract

A soft, fatigue resistant vulcanizate adapted for transmitting load between moving mechanical parts comprising (a) 100 parts by weight of crosslinked elastomer, (b) a fatigue life enhancing amount of substantially internally saturated, substantially linear polymer that (i) is made from monomers consisting essentially of isobutylene, (ii) is a strain crystallizable, elastic solid at 20.degree. C. and (iii) has a viscosity average molecular weight (Flory) above about 1.3 million, (c) about 5-200 parts by weight particulate comprising carbon black, said elastomer being crosslinked with (d) curative in an amount sufficient to crosslink said elastomer, wherein said polymer of (b) is dispersed throughout said elastomer of (a) in a discrete microscopic phase.
