  • Are rubber antioxidants harmful to the environment?
  • However, recent studies have revealed that their transformation products (TPs) could adversely affect environmental organisms and even lead to environmental events, which led to great public concern about environmental occurrence and potential impacts of rubber antioxidants and their TPs.
  • Do antioxidants and their TPS increase environmental risk awareness of rubber products?
  • To our knowledge, this is the first review on antioxidants and their TPs in the environment, which may elevate the environmental risk awareness of rubber products and their TPs in the near future.
  • How can Antioxidants improve the antioxidative capacity of the rubber matrix?
  • Generally speaking, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, there are two main strategies to improve the antioxidant's antioxidative capability for the rubber matrix: (i) using two or more antioxidants together, and (ii) molecular design of antioxidants. Fig. 2.
  • What are the different types of antioxidants in rubber?
  • Chemical antioxidants are generally classified as amine, phenolic, heterocyclic, phosphite, and nickel salts (nickel dibutyl dithiocarbamate (NBC)) antioxidants according to their chemical structure (Figure 1). During the rubber production, various antioxidants are often used as a mixture to improve performance and ensure an antiaging effect.
