Abstract The present chapter is written as an introduction towards this book on nonlinear viscoelasticity of rubber composites and nanocomposites. Rather than introducing the concept of the book to the readers this chapter reveals the basics behind rubber viscoelasticity and explains both linearity and nonlinearity from this behavior. Various filler reinforced rubbers are introduced emphasising the flow behavior of such nanocomposites. Major mathematical models proposed by Kraus, Huber and Vilgis and Maier and Goritz for the Payne Effect are briefly addressed based on the filler matrix interactions existing in the composite systems.

Graphitic fillers and layered silicates are the main two dimensional fillers used to reinforce elastomer matrices. Here the significance of the most important nanoplatelets—nanoclay and graphene—on the nonlinear viscoelasticity of rubbers is discussed. Figure 1 gives the structural representation of these nanoparticles.

The last two chapters give emphasis to the theoretical side of the nonlinear viscoelasticity of rubber composites. Thus an attempt to cover both experimental and theoretical sides is done in this book and as the editors we feel we have succeeded in it. Chapter 8 by Markovic et al. explains about a constitutive model able to reproduce both static and dynamic material responses based on the behavior...
