Abstract
Disclosed herein are rubber compositions containing a viscosity modifier and related methods such as for preparing a rubber composition containing a viscosity modifier. The viscosity modifier is an olefin copolymer and may be utilized in a neat or in an oil-extended form. Use of the olefin copolymer viscosity modifier can improve both high and low temperature E of the rubber composition.
