“…They may occur in the form of powder, microparticles or nanoparticles, or long and short fibers [2][3][4]. The use of such modifiers as biochar [5][6][7], carbon nanotubes [8][9][10], basalt powder [11][12][13][14], lignin [15,16], and ground waste from the agricultural [17][18][19] and food industries [20][21][22] in polymer composites has been the subject of many scientific papers in recent years. A significant change in the properties of the polymer matrix is obtained by using additives of various shapes in the form of particles and fibers.…”

The goal of this work was to investigate the effect of the biochar additive (2.5; 5; 10 wt.%) on the properties of carbon fiber-reinforced bio-epoxy composites. The morphology of the composites was monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the thermomechanical properties by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Additionally, mechanical properties such as impact strength, flexural strength andtensile strength, as well as the thermal stability and degradation kinetics of these composites were evaluated. It was found that the introduction of biochar into the epoxy matrix improved the mechanical and thermal properties of carbon fiber-reinforced composites.
