This study investigates how to improve performance and lessen environmental effects by integrating novel compounds into rubber. The principal aims of this study are to evaluate the potential of bio-based additives, sophisticated nanomaterials, and intelligent features to enhance rubber's mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties while reducing carbon emissions. The research assesses recent developments and potential future directions through an extensive secondary data analysis. Important discoveries show that carbon nanotubes and graphene considerably improve durability and tensile strength, while bio-based additives lessen reliance on fossil fuels. The automotive sector benefits significantly from these additives' lightweight and increased energy efficiency. The report also emphasizes the necessity of sustainable end-of-life management and enhanced recyclability. The analysis highlights the significance of policy interventions despite the high costs and scaling issues associated with these materials. To encourage the use of sustainable additives, governments must fund R&D, set precise guidelines, and promote recycling. The rubber sector may make great strides and contribute to industrial performance and environmental sustainability by addressing these constraints through supporting legislation. This study highlights how cutting-edge additives can revolutionize rubber technology in the future.
