This study investigates the dynamic-mechanical behavior of polymeric blends containing conventional and alternative fillers, aimed at developing a novel elastomer-based component for use in bulk material transport systems. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) was performed at 1 Hz and 10 Hz to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of three different rubber compounds: a commercial tread blend, a compound containing a recycled filler (CC), and a non-vulcanized variant (Nevul). Key parameters such as the storage modulus (E′), loss tangent (tan δ), and glass transition temperature (Tg) were extracted and compared. The alternative filler-based compound (CC) exhibited enhanced damping characteristics, with a tan δ peak around –45 °C and higher energy dissipation under dynamic loading. These findings highlight the significant influence of filler type and matrix interaction on the frequency- and temperature-dependent mechanical behavior. The study provides a fundamental understanding of structure–property relationships in elastomer composites and sets the stage for further testing of innovative fillers derived from thermally processed industrial waste and by-product blends.
