Abstract: A cross-linked rubber exhibits high strength and excellent abrasion resistance as compared with a known cross-linked rubber. The cross-linked rubber is obtained by cross-linking a rubber composition that includes a hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer, an olefin-based rubber, and a cross-linking agent, the hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer being a hydrogenated product of a polymer that includes a structural unit derived from butadiene, and including at least one of an amino group and a hydrocarbyloxysilyl group at one terminal or each terminal.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an oil resistant and weather resistant rubber composition which leads to a molded product (rubber product) that has a sufficiently high strength and hardness, and low compression set, and that is excellent in ozone resistance; and a molded product such as a hose and a seal using the same. The oil resistant and weather resistant rubber composition of the present invention comprises an epoxy group-containing acrylic-based rubber having an epoxy group in an amount from 0.01 to 1.5 mmol/g, and a carboxyl group-containing unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene-based copolymer having a carboxyl group in an amount from 0.02 to 2.5 mmol/g. The rubber composition may further comprise a reinforcing agent, a plasticizer, a crosslinking agent and the like.
