The reinforcement effect of carbon black and, the effect of accelerator-to-sulfur ratio variation on the elastic behavior of natural rubber vulcanizates have been studied. The Mooney-Rivlin relation was used to describe the behavior of the rubber matrix, and values of constants c1 and c2 have been evaluated with the use of the strain-amplification factor. The stress softening of the vulcanizates tested has also been examined.
