▎ 摘　　要

Graphene has drawn numerous attention due to its intriguing and unparalleled physical properties. Graphene and its derivations have promising applications in rubber composites because these atomically thin carbon sheets can significantly improve physical properties of host rubber at extremely small loading. The present work first reviews the synthesis and functionalization of graphene. Then the preparation methods of the graphene/rubber composites are disclosed, and the thorough investigations on the properties as well as the structures of graphene/rubber composites are discussed. Lastly, the future perspectives on preparing and characterizing graphene/rubber composites are proposed.
