“…Furthermore, Das et al [317] produced biochar-based wood polymer composites while manufacturing a biocomposite with appreciable properties. Similarly, Poulose et al [318] combined date palm biochar with a poly(propylene) matrix and revealed that the biochar had negligible effect on the storage modulus up to a 15 wt.% loading. Other widely used polyolefin matrix used for the realization of piezo sensors are poly(vinyl alcohol) [319,320] and poly(acrylonitrile) [321].…”

Biochar is the solid residue that is recovered after the thermal cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Biochar has been used for many years as a soil amendment and in general soil applications. Nonetheless, biochar is far more than a mere soil amendment. In this review, we report all the non-soil applications of biochar including environmental remediation, energy storage, composites, and catalyst production. We provide a general overview of the recent uses of biochar in material science, thus presenting this cheap and waste-derived material as a high value-added and carbonaceous source.

“…Additionally, Elnour et al [79] studied the relationship between biochar properties and related poly(propylene) composites showing an increment of stiffness together with unaffected tensile strength. In the same period, Poulose et al [80] mixed date palm-derived biochar with poly(propylene) showing the negligible effect of biochar on the storage modulus in a range of concentration of up to 15 wt.%. Poly(ethylene) and poly(propylene) are not the only polyolefins used for the production of carbon-based composites.…”

The global market of carbon-reinforced plastic represents one of the largest economic platforms. This sector is dominated by carbon black (CB) produced from traditional oil industry. Recently, high technological fillers such as carbon fibres or nanostructured carbon (i.e. carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide) fillers have tried to exploit their potential but without economic success. So, in this chapter we are going to analyse the use of an unconventional carbon filler called biochar. Biochar is the solid residue of pyrolysis and can be a solid and sustainable replacement for traditional and expensive fillers. In this chapter, we will provide overview of the last advancement in the use of biochar as filler for the production of reinforced plastics.

“…This carbon rich material has been recently used as the reinforcement in polymer composites and led the way for the production of eco-friendly composites with enhanced mechanical and FR properties [51,52]. Instead of using the organic wastes directly in the manufacturing of biocomposites, BC derived from various biomasses, such as Rice Husk [53], bamboo [54], paunch grass, pine wood saw dust, date palm [55], poultry litter, and sewage and dewatered sludge [56], are utilized as a reinforcement. Thermo-chemical conversion technology of slow pyrolysis is the main process that is used for the generation of high yield BC.…”

Carbon based fillers have attracted a great deal of interest in polymer composites because of their ability to beneficially alter properties at low filler concentration, good interfacial bonding with polymer, availability in different forms, etc. The property alteration of polymer composites makes them versatile for applications in various fields, such as constructions, microelectronics, biomedical, and so on. Devastations due to building fire stress the importance of flame-retardant polymer composites, since they are directly related to human life conservation and safety. Thus, in this review, the significance of carbon-based flame-retardants for polymers is introduced. The effects of a wide variety of carbon-based material addition (such as fullerene, CNTs, graphene, graphite, and so on) on reaction-to-fire of the polymer composites are reviewed and the focus is dedicated to biochar-based reinforcements for use in flame retardant polymer composites. Additionally, the most widely used flammability measuring techniques for polymeric composites are presented. Finally, the key factors and different methods that are used for property enhancement are concluded and the scope for future work is discussed.
