The invention pertains to the use of porous, chemically interconnected, carbon-nanofibre-comprising carbon networks for reinforcing elastomers. It has been found that said carbon-nanofibre-comprising carbon networks can beneficially be used when added in an amount of 10-120 phr to an elastomer, in particular to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The benefits include lower tan delta at 60° C. (rolling resistance), higher tan delta at 0° C. (wet grip), better abrasion resistance, higher flexibility and lower stiffness. The reinforced elastomers can be used in many areas of technology such as tyres, conveyor belts, hoses, etc.
