Graphene has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years, illustrated by its potential in a variety of areas in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Specifically, graphene has opened up exciting possibilities for high-performance and functional rubber composites. Although copious literature deals with the fascinating properties related to graphene, its real (large scale) applications in rubber-based composites have not been approached. We discuss the state of the art in development in processing and the status in understanding of structure/performance relationships. Accordingly, the prospectives and challenges of some real applications of graphene-based rubber composites such as tires and sensors are surveyed and discussed.
