description Fitting unvulcanized rubber compound’s (URC) dynamic viscoelasticity prediction formula and then constructing its mechanical constitutive model are of great significance for studying defect mechanisms in rubber products. However, it is difficult to measure the dynamic viscoelasticity of unvulcanized rubber at high and low frequencies due to its rapid relaxation property. This paper presents a convenient method to measure the dynamic viscoelasticity of unvulcanized rubber. The data of different temperatures at a fixed frequency are measured by dynamic thermomechanical analysis, and the master curve of unvulcanized rubber is obtained by using the time-temperature equivalent superposition principle, which is used to predict the modulus and stress at different temperatures as a function of frequency. The predicted moduli are in good agreement with experimental data when the strain is less than 10% and the applicable temperature range of the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation, which indicates that the proposed method is a feasible way to study the dynamic viscoelasticity of unvulcanized rubber at different temperatures.
