Abstract: An organohybrid-based damping material for controlling unwanted vibration and noise, an organic damping improver exhibiting piezoelectric, dielectric and electroconductive effects, and their producing methods, are provided. The damping material comprises a polymer matrix having a polar side chain and a damping improver composed of a compound containing basic nitrogen and a phenol-based compound. The damping material shows an excellent damping properties, alleviates the functional deterioration, and is applicable to different application temperature regions and wide areas.

Abstract: The present invention provides a damping composite material, exhibiting more stable and functional damping effects than the conventional one based on the viscous or functional mechanism to convert mechanical vibrational energy into thermal energy, and also provide a method for producing the same.

Abstract: A damping material having a loss factor tan .delta..gtoreq.1 and a small strain amplitude dependence, which is formed by dispersing an organic series dielectric or ferroelectric material in a non-dielectric polymer to have an acicular form wherein the acicular ratio is 5 or more, and the diameter of the acicular dielectric or ferroelectric material is 20 .mu.m or less when it takes a circular acicular form, or a side in cross section of the acicular dielectric or ferroelectric material is 20 .mu.m or less when it takes a rectangular acicular form. The volume ratio of the dielectric or the ferroelectric material to the non-dielectric polymer is preferably 0.3 to 0.7.
