Dandelion rubber is a natural rubber made from the latex of herbal dandelion. Studies at home and abroad have confirmed that natural rubber produced from dandelion has similar physical and chemical properties to Hevea rubber. Dandelion is also a plant resource that combines natural rubber and energy. It can extract natural rubber. The remaining waste residue can also be fermented to obtain bio-ethanol. Compared to the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, it takes 5-7 years to remove the rubber. Dandelion needs only 1 year from sowing to harvesting. Therefore, dandelion rubber is considered by the industry to be a technical solution to the shortage of natural rubber.

To this end, many research institutes, universities, and rubber tire companies at home and abroad have carried out research on dandelion planting, rubber extraction, and dandelion rubber applications.

Bridgestone Japan and the Ohio State University cooperated with the self-developed rubber extraction technology to successfully extract the natural rubber for tire production from the dandelion roots originating in Kazakhstan and other places, and identified the dandelion rubber. Physical properties. The next division of work and plan is to strive to complete the trial production of dandelion rubber by the General Motors Corporation prior to 2014. The Ohio State University has developed a technology for large-scale planting of Russian dandelions; and put dandelion rubber tires into practical use after 2020. .

Ford Motor Company of America also established a cooperative relationship with Ohio State University to develop dandelion rubber, and commissioned the University's Agricultural Research and Development Center (ARDC) to conduct TKS planting technology research. Currently, Ford Motor Company has incorporated dandelion rubber as an impact modifier into plastics to make automobile cup holders, floor mats, and interiors. The company said that they have been looking for a green, low-carbon and locally available new sustainable vehicle material, and dandelion rubber is very much in line with Ford Motor Company requirements.

German Continental Group and the University of Muenster have been conducting research on dandelion rubber since the end of 2010. The team’s biochemists discovered an enzyme that quickly condenses dandelion latex. They successfully “cut” the enzyme, freeing the latex and degreasing it. At present, the project team has used the extracted dandelion rubber for trial production of tires and other rubber accessories. Experts hope that dandelion will soon be listed as a cash crop in Germany and that dandelion rubber will be able to meet one-tenth of the demand for German rubber in the future.

On May 9th this year, Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement with Beijing University of Chemical Technology to develop a dandelion rubber agreement, which marks China's entry into the field of dandelion rubber research.

Although dandelion rubber has become a hot topic in recent years, people in the industry believe that the real problem of industrialization needs to be resolved as follows: selection and cultivation of dandelion fine varieties; selection of medium for dandelion cultivation, how to avoid damage during the collection process Roots cause loss of emulsion; dandelion itself will slowly secrete the emulsion, how to reduce the dandelion plant's own excretion of latex ingredients; improve dandelion photosynthesis efficiency, improve the roots of dandelion plants to gather more latex; dandelion tissue latex extraction, if With the extraction process, how to use the existing natural rubber mature process system; and the combination of biotechnology, genetic engineering and other marginal disciplines to develop new dandelion varieties.
