Developing thermally conductive rubber nanocomposites for heat management is a difficult task for many applications, including tires. Even though rubber materials generally have poor thermal conductivity, the addition of various conductive fillers is required to prevent heat accumulation. However, high filler loading has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the final product. In addition to the role of filler loading, structure, and morphology, various types of functionalization are required to improve the incorporation of the fillers in the rubber matrix. The main objective of this review is to summarise recent investigations on the thermal and mechanical properties of rubber nanocomposites filled with carbon-based particles such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene derivatives.
