NANO ACTIVATED-CARBON POLYMER COMPOSITES FROM NATURAL PRECURSORS: NANO-STRUCTURAL AND MECHANCAL PROPERTIES

SAgricultural waste materials have been explored in the preparation of activated carbon (AC) employing chemical activation using KOH method. Various biomasses based activated carbons derived from bamboo stem, coconut shell and oil palm empty fiber bunch were characterized, compared and used as filler in epoxy composites. The microscopic structure, thermal properties and mechanical properties of the composites were studied.
