Abstract: There is provided an anti-seismic rubber bearing made up of a laminate structure formed by bonding a plurality of rigid plates having stiffness properties and a plurality of flexible plates having viscoelastic properties each other alternately, and flanges each attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the laminate structure, characterized by that the local strain is evenly distributed throughout the structure by lowering the local strain which occurs near the flanges.

Abstract: A conveyor belt having a cover layer is disclosed and a core layer. An adhesion-proofing agent is contained in the cover layer. The conveyor belt further has a migration-proofing layer provided between the cover layer and the core layer for preventing migration of the adhesion-proofing agent in the cover layer to the core layer.

Abstract: A sound damping material is disclosed, which is a composite structural body comprising honeycomb or corrugated core, plain sheet and pressure sensitive adhesive layer, a height direction of the honeycomb or corrugated core being perpendicular to a surface of a vibrating body. In this sound damping material, one pressure sensitive adhesive layer is at least existent between the honeycomb or corrugated cores or between the honeycomb or corrugated core and the plain sheet.

Abstract: A method of preparing a nitrile rubber composition having modulus and excellent physical properties and abrasion resistance is disclosed. This composition is prepared by kneading at 120.degree.-160.degree. C. (a) a nitrile rubber, (b) an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, (c) a divalent metal compound, (d) a secondary aryl amine, cooling the kneaded mass below 100.degree. C., adding to the kneaded mass (e) an organic peroxide, and heating and curing the resulting mixture at 110.degree.-180.degree. C. The addition of the secondary aryl amine considerably improves the physical properties of the composition. These compositions have not a tendency of scorching and are superior in the workability as compared with conventional carboxylated nitrile rubber compositions produced by emulsion polymerization.
