The present invention is concerned with the field of polymer chemistry and relates to rubber or elastomer compositions as can be used for vehicle tires, and to a method for the production of the rubber or elastomer compositions.

The object of the invention is that in particular the elastic modulus of the compositions can be adapted depending on the temperature and/or the application conditions, and is a cost-effective and easily implemented method for the production of the compositions.

The object is attained by rubber or elastomer compositions that contain at least one rubber or elastomer matrix and at least 20 to 150 phr of a phase change material in solid or liquid form. In the methods according to the invention, at least one rubber and at least 20 to 150 phr of a phase change material in solid or liquid form are used, the composition is mixed or the at least one rubber is at least brought into contact with the phase change material, and further processing steps can be performed and a vulcanization can be performed.
