Abstract
Abstract A rubber composition that is prepared by reacting an organic peroxide, under shear deformation, with 3-70 parts by weight of silicone rubber (I), 30-97 parts by weight of a saturated elastomer (II) that substantially fails to be crosslinked with an organic peroxide when it is used alone, and 0-20 parts by weight of another elastomer (III) that is co-crosslinkable with component (I) in the presence of an organic peroxide and which is also co-crosslinkable or highly miscible with component (II) [where (I)+(II)+(III)=100 parts by weight].
