In the present paper, we studied the mechanical modification caused by the mixing of Eucommia ulmoides resin (EU resin) into three general rubbers (BR, SBR and NR) and found that while EU resin can improve the mechanical properties of SBR and BR; it has no effect on those of NR. By measuring the torque during the mixing process, we found that EU resin can improve the processing properties of the three general rubbers and decrease their energy cost. Plastification of EU resin occurs due to its high aliphatic oil content and EU resin reinforcement may be relative to the amount of EU resin still contains some short chain E. ulmoides gum (EUG).
