Abstract Dynamic shear compliance measurements on a natural rubber vulcanizate have been carried out from 50 to 5000 cps as a function of static elongation in the range 0–400%. Above 300% elongation several very large resonance dispersions appear in the region 1000–2000 cps, but at lower elongations no such resonances are observed. The appearance of mechanical resonance dispersion thus coincides with the development of oriented crystallinity in the stretched rubber as shown from x-ray diffraction data. On the other hand, the magnitudes of the dispersions decrease with increasing elongation above 300% whereas x-ray measurements indicate the amount or extent of crystallinity increases with stretching above 300% elongation. The resonances thus clearly decrease as the crystallinity becomes more perfect or more extensive and hence appear to reflect the imperfections of the crystalline regions formed by elongation rather than the crystallinity itself. Observed changes in the compliance spectrum with time at each elongation also favor this view. Broad retardation dispersions were observed when the rubber was allowed to contract back to elongations below 300% after long times above 300%. These are tentatively ascribed to an extended amorphous state in which the rubber molecules are kept partially extended by very small randomly oriented crystalline regions which persist for some time after retraction. Another interesting feature of the results is an apparent correlation between the percent crystallinity determined from x-ray diffraction and the reciprocal of the general level of storage compliance 1/J′ at frequencies well below or well above the dispersion region.
