Biochar is conventionally and widely used for soil amendment or as an adsorbent for water treatment. Nevertheless, the need for transition to renewable materials has resulted in an expansion of biochar for use as a filler for polymer composites. The aim is to enhance the physical, chemical, mechanical and rheological properties of the polymer composite. The reinforcement of biochar into a polymer matrix however is still new, and limited reports are focusing on the effects of biochar towards polymer composite properties. Hence, this review highlights the unique properties of biochar and its effect on the crystallization, thermal, flammability, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties of polymer composites. This review does not solely summarize recent studies on biochar-polymer-based composites, but also offers insights into a new direction of biochar as a renewable and superior polymer filler in the future.
生物炭传统上被广泛用于土壤改良或作为水处理的吸附剂。然而,向可再生材料转型的需求促使生物炭被拓展用于聚合物复合材料的填料。目的是增强聚合物复合材料的物理、化学、机械和流变性能。然而,将生物炭增强到聚合物基体中仍属新领域,且仅有有限的报告关注生物炭对聚合物复合材料性能的影响。因此,本综述着重介绍了生物炭的独特性能及其对聚合物复合材料结晶、热、燃烧性、导电性和机械性能的影响。本综述不仅总结了近期关于生物炭基聚合物复合材料的研究,还为生物炭作为未来可再生且优质的聚合物填料的新方向提供了见解。
