Abstract: Provided is a damping material capable of exhibiting a damping effect more effective than that of a conventional technique. A composite damping material of the present invention is a material in which a needle-like dielectric having a high dielectric constant made of a titanium dioxide and a piezoelectric fiber made of an organic material are mixed in a polymer material serving as a matrix, and preferably a material in which a flat filler made of an inorganic material and conductive fine particles are further mixed. A material made of a cellulose fiber can be used preferably as the piezoelectric fiber.
