This paper presents a novel strategy to prepare nano-lignin and its composites with natural rubber. The nano- lignin was ontained by fabricating colloidal lignin-Poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) complexes (LPCs) via self-assembly technology. The characteristics of LPCs were investigated by zeta potential, dynamic light scat- tering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet - visible (UV-vis) absorption measurements. The results indicated that PDADMAC intensively interacted with lignin by cation-! and !-! interactions, and lignin particles were stable in aqueous solution with an average particle size less than 100 nm. LPCs accelerated the vulcanization of NR/LPCs nanocomposites. Morphological studies and Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed the homogeneous dispersion of LPCs in the NR matrix and the strong interfacial adhesion between them. The nanoscale dispersion of LPCs significantly enhanced the thermal stability and mechanical properties of NR/LPCs nanocomposites.
