An ionic liquid (IL), 1-methylimidazolium sorbate (MimS), is designed and subjected to exploration as the modifier to improve the performance of the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/silica composites. The significantly improved filler dispersion and the effectively enhanced mechanical properties are ascribed to the changed interfacial structure induced by the functional IL.
