Nano additions are transforming polymeric and rubber composites by dramatically improving their mechanical, thermal, and functional qualities. This detailed research delves into the present level of knowledge on nano additive uses, examining their impact across a variety of industries. We investigate the incorporation of carbon-based materials, metal oxides, and nano clays into polymer and rubber matrices, resulting in increased mechanical strength, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and barrier performance. The analysis focuses on a variety of applications in the automotive, electronics, packaging, biomedical, and environmental sectors, allowing for breakthroughs in lightweight car components, flexible electronics, and eco-friendly packaging solutions. However, obstacles persist in addressing differences, understanding the interaction across linkages, regulating manufacturing costs, and resolving scalability and monitoring issues. This study suggests future research directions and emphasizes the critical function of nano additives in rubber composites.
