Abstract
A study was made of the change in the dynamic viscoelastic properties of silicone rubber with the addition of a small fraction (0.05; 0.10%) of single-walled carbon nanotubes. In the region of linear deformation, the elastic modulus and loss factor were measured. It has been established that the addition of nanotubes and the aging of materials lead to an increase in the elastic modulus, and the loss factor can either increase or decrease.
