**Abstract**
 A description is given of a comparative study of the vibration reduction ability of a number of polymers: PMMA, PTFE, nylon-66, polyacetal and epoxy resin. The objective of the research is to identify polymers which can be used as vibration damping materials. Of the materials tested, PMMA exhibited the highest loss modulus, while PTFE exhibited the highest loss tangent. A synthetic rubber had an exceptionally low loss modulus, but an exceptionally high loss tangent. Epoxy and acetal exhibited the lowest loss tangent. 14 refs.
