Abstract

Lignin has been one of the biomass to be utilized more effectively from the viewpoint of sustainable development. In spite of the increasing interest in lignin wastes, a few industrialization of the lignin has been successful. Here, lignin as a rubber reinforcing filler is evaluated, and a soft processing method of lignin-loaded rubber vulcanizates is proposed. The traditional rubber processing, which is a highly mechanical method, has not worked well for the powdered lignin as a rubber compounding ingredient. Some ideas on the soft processing method of rubber–lignin mixtures are suggested for further developmental research. If in success, unique bionanocomposites are to be prepared, when natural rubber is employed as a matrix rubber.
