Disclosed are, inter alia, a rubber composition for suspension bush with improved fatigue durability and a rubber for a vehicle suspension bush including the same. The rubber may have increased hardness by applying a thiol-based compound as a cross-linking agent. The rubber composition may include a natural rubber, a filler including carbon black; a crosslinking agent including a thiol-based compound, an activator including zinc oxide and stearic acid, a sulfur, and a sulfur accelerator.

Polyolefin based vitrimers having at least one disulfmyl linking unit are described. Uses and methods of making the vitrimers are also described.

A process for manufacturing a rubber composition which comprises more than 50 phr of a diene elastomer rich in ethylene units, a reinforcing filler comprising a carbon black and a vulcanization system comprising sulfur, a sulfenamide as primary accelerator and a thiuram polysulfide or a mixture of a thiuram polysulfide and a guanidine as secondary accelerator is provided. The process comprises mixing the highly saturated diene elastomer, the reinforcing filler and the secondary accelerator by kneading at a temperature above 110′C, in the absence of the sulfur and the primary accelerator, and incorporating the sulfur and the primary accelerator into the rubber composition by kneading at a temperature below 110° C. The process makes it possible to reduce the hysteresis of the vulcanized rubber compositions.
