Abstract

This study explores the use of charcoal waste ash, a by-product of human activities, as a filler in polypropylene matrices. The samples were mixed using the melt compounding method using an internal mixer at 1wt%, 2wt%, 5wt%, 7wt% and 10wt%. Tensile strength peaked at 29.85MPa at 2wt% while the flexural strength peaked well above pure PP at 45.5MPa at 7wt%. Charcoal waste ash is possible to enhance the mechanical properties of polypropylene, suggesting its potential as a sustainable material in polymer composites.
