Synthetic rubber derived from butadiene is one of the most critical materials in modern industry, particularly in automotive manufacturing. The two most important types are Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and Polybutadiene Rubber (BR). SBR is widely used in tire treads due to its excellent wear resistance, grip, and cost-effectiveness, while BR provides superior abrasion resistance, low rolling resistance, and flexibility at low temperatures, making it ideal for sidewalls and high-performance tires. Butadiene-based rubbers are also employed in footwear, conveyor belts, seals, gaskets, hoses, and industrial goods. With a density of about 0.9–0.98 g/cm³, synthetic rubber is lightweight yet durable, and its tensile strength ensures long-lasting performance under stress. However, natural drawbacks such as limited oil and heat resistance require compounding with stabilizers, fillers, and antioxidants. The environmental impact of synthetic rubber is significant, as it is non-biodegradable, though recycling methods such as crumb rubber production and pyrolysis are increasingly adopted. As the backbone of the tire industry, butadiene-derived synthetic rubber is in constant global demand, balancing performance, affordability, and adaptability for a wide range of applications.
