A composite material which comprises an elastomer or vulcanized rubber and particles of a high-density material, such as tungsten, evenly dispersed therein, wherein the contents of the elastomer or vulcanized rubber and the high-density particles are 35 to 50 vol. % and 50 to 65 vol. %, respectively, based on the whole composite material, and the high-density particles have a particle composition comprising 60 to 80 vol. % coarse particles having a particle diameter of 10 to 100 mum, 10 to 20 vol. % medium particles having a particle diameter of 3 to 6 mum, and 10 to 20 vol. % fine particles having a particle diameter of 1 to 2 mum, the spaces among the coarse particles being filled with the medium particles and fine particles. The composite material is excellent in flexibility and processability and is suitable for use as a radiation-shielding sheet material, weight member, vibration-damping material, balancing member, radiating material, and shot material.
