An anti-vibration rubber of the present invention is an anti-vibration rubber for washing machines. In temperature variance measurement of dynamic viscoelasticity at a frequency of 30 Hz, the anti-vibration rubber has a maximum loss factor at a temperature of −10° C. to 40° C., both inclusive, and has a loss factor of 0.4 or more in the entire temperature range of −10° C. to 40° C., both inclusive, at the frequency of 30 Hz.

Disclosed is a diaphragm and a sound generating device. The raw material of the diaphragm comprises a liquid diene-based rubber and a vulcanizing agent, and the liquid diene-based rubber comprises a liquid butadiene-based rubber or a liquid isoprene-based rubber. The diaphragm is prepared by injecting the raw material into a diaphragm forming mold and then performing a cross-linking reaction. The diaphragm has an elongation at break of more than 200%, therefore the reliability of the diaphragm is high, the diaphragm has a damping of more than 0.07, and the has higher damping in the range of the operating temperature and frequency, therefore the loudspeaker using this diaphragm may obtain lower THD, higher listening yield, better sound quality, and swing during vibration not easily occurs, the listening stability is good, and the diaphragm can also ensure that the defects such as diaphragm folding and diaphragm damage not easily occurs after low temperature reliability.

The present invention relates to articles comprising crosslinked polymer network comprising thioether crosslinks and process of making and using same. Such thiol-ene crosslinking reactions not only make the isocyanate crosslinking reaction unnecessary, but they also improve the article's strength due to chemical crosslinking between the article's resin layers, and reduce or eliminate post curing. Thus resulting in a sufficiently cured article in a much shorter time.
