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.
