Wood flour and other cellulosic fibres filled rubber and rubber-plastic composites have great potentials for engineering applications due to their environmental suitability and economic and technical feasibility. Many attempts have been carried out to generate these relatively new composites, however, many technical and economic issues are yet to be addressed before the rubber biocomposites could be commercialized successfully. Significant research efforts are highly required in order to better understand this composite and relevant technologies, hence find new formulations (virgin or recycled raw materials, smaller particle size, quality and amount of the fillers, different additives), refine processing techniques, accurately characterize (biodegradable performance, fire resistance, sound insulation) and apply the cellulosic rubber plastic composites for the maximized applications. The market for these composites seems remaining open, especially in Europe. It could be envisaged that as soon as the reduction of costs and the improvement of the quality are achieved, the rapid industrialization of these composites as green engineering and high value added products for many industrial sectors is predictable in the near future.
The research of nanocellulose reinforced rubber nanocomposites is at its infant laboratory state. Further research efforts shall be devoted to this scientifically promising but demanding field, and furthermore, bridge the gap between scientific challenges and industrial applications. Few rigorously scientific publications have been found in the fields of wood-rubber sandwiches and particleboards and other wood-rubber based materials. Novel and advanced technologies for the formulation of cellulosic rubber based materials are and continue to be of great significance to the sustainable development of natural cellulosic, used tyre and reused plastic, and many other end user industrial sectors.
