The random, hydrogenated copolymers according to the present invention of
unsubstituted conjugated dienes and substituted conjugated dienes, having
a glass transition temperature of .ltoreq.-60.degree. C., an enthalpy of
fusion of .ltoreq.100 J/g and a content of residual double bonds in the
range from 0 to 80%, are suitable for the production of rubber moldings
of all kinds which have good resistance to ageing and high resilience at
low temperatures. In particular, various tire components and industrial
rubber articles may be mentioned as rubber moldings. The copolymers are
also suitable for the rubber modification of brittle thermoplastics.
