In the last two decades, the utilization of non-petroleum based renewable materials on the development of advanced rubber composites has attracted increasing attention of polymer researchers from both industrial and environmental viewpoints. Recently, lignin has emerged as promising non-petroleum based filler in the progress of green rubber technology. This review article aims to present the recent advances of lignin based natural and synthetic rubber composites. The potential of lignin as alternative reinforcing filler in rubber technology is critically evaluated in terms of cure, mechanical, dynamic mechanical and thermal properties. The dispersion of lignin within the rubber matrix is the key parameter that decides the overall performances of lignin based rubber composites. The last section of the review will emphasize the major challenges regarding the broad application of lignin as reinforcing filler in rubber industry. This study will be the part of huge interest of modern rubber researchers concerning the utilization of lignin for the development of non-petroleum based renewable and sustainable rubber composites.

在过去的二十年中，无论是从工业角度还是从环境角度来看，在开发高级橡胶复合材料时利用非石油基可再生材料都引起了聚合物研究人员的越来越多的关注。最近，在绿色橡胶技术的发展中，木质素已成为有前途的非石油基填料。这篇综述文章旨在介绍木质素基天然和合成橡胶复合材料的最新进展。木质素作为橡胶技术中替代增强填料的潜力已从固化，机械，动态机械和热性能方面进行了严格评估。木质素在橡胶基质中的分散是决定木质素基橡胶复合材料整体性能的关键参数。审查的最后一部分将重点强调木质素作为橡胶工业中的增强填料的广泛应用方面的主要挑战。这项研究将成为现代橡胶研究人员对利用木质素开发非石油基可再生和可持续橡胶复合材料的巨大兴趣的一部分。
