Abstract The dielectric loss tangent of different types of vulcanizates of natural rubber has been measured as function of the frequency. Comparisons of the losses in different vulcanizates containing the same amount of combined sulfur show that they decrease with increasing modulus, and it is suggested that the dielectric loss is mostly due to sulfur which has been combined in forms other than cross-links. The dielectric relaxation time is approximately an exponential function of the percentage of combined sulfur. It has been found that moisture increases the audiofrequency losses in rubber more than the radiofrequency losses.
