Abstract
The vibration reduction ability of thermoplastics (PMMA, PTFE, PA-66 and ac etal) and of a thermoset (epoxy) was compared by dynamic flexural testing a t less than or equal to1.0 Hz. Among these polymers, PMMA exhibited the hig hest loss modulus, while PTFE exhibited the highest loss tangent. A synthet ic rubber had an exceptionally low loss modulus, but an exceptionally high loss tangent. Epoxy and acetal exhibited the lowest loss tangent.
