“…Carbon composites have become a crucial component in modern technology, with numerous applications in military, civilian, energy, medical, and environmental fields. Polymer composites, made with affordable materials and equipment, are easy to produce and offer both process ability and cost-effectiveness [5][6][7].Composite materials are produced by combining or merging different materials or qualities in which the component elements are individually distinct, or, two or more phases combined physically, which result in a new material that has excellent features if compared to the features of the individual phases [8][9][10].In opposing to alloys, every phase of composites keeps its distinguished physical, mechanical, and chemical properties [9,11,12].The essential utilities of composites are good stiffness, high specific strength, and good electrical and thermal properties results. In addition to lightweights when they are compared with alloys or ceramics products [13,14].…”

The main objectives of the current study are to improve the mechanical, thermal, physical and sound insulation properties of an epoxy composite, in addition to reducing environmental pollution resulting from the burning of palm kernel waste, which results from annual periodic cleaning of the palms trees, which have been disposed of by burning it. Charcoal Waste Particles of Palm Fronds Base have been used for epoxy matrix as a naturalistic reinforcement particulate material, risk-free, and non-toxic to enhance its features. The charcoal waste particles have been used in weight rates of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10%. As stated by the results, the reinforcement process by charcoal waste particles increased the tensile strength value from 8.78 MPa to 13.64 MPa, with a 55%, and increased the elastic modulus value from 0.67MPa to 3.63MPa, with a rate 437%. Moreover, additionally, increased the bending strength from 0.1MPa to 0.64MPa, with a 540%, the hardness value increased from 58.87 to 74 (Shore D No) with a rate 26%, as well as the wear rate has been decreased. Thermal conductivity has dropped by 30% from the pure sample’s value of 0.15W/m. °C to 0.11W/m. °C. Concerning the Acoustic insulation’s, the results demonstrate that the specimens decreased the transferred acoustic energy levels from 103.3 to 95.2dB with rate 8%, with regard to the density of the prepared specimens it has been decreased from 1.55g/cm3 to 1.35g/cm3 and the results show that the liquid absorption rates have been decreased for all composite specimens.
