Biomass from bamboo, bagasse (remains of sugarcane after pressing), and oil palm ash was used as the predecessor for producing carbon black nanofillers. Furnace pyrolysis was carried out at 1000 °C and was followed by ball-mill processing to obtain carbon nanofillers in the range of 50 nm to 100 nm. CNFs were added to alumina in varying weight fractions and the resulting mixture was subjected to vacuum sintering at 1400 °C to produce nanobioceramic composites. The ceramic composites were characterized for mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties. A high-resolution Charge-coupled device (CCD) camera was used to study the fracture impact and the failure mechanism. An increase in the loading percentage of CNFs in the alumna decreased the specific gravity, vickers hardness (HV), and fracture toughness values of the composite materials. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity and the thermal stability of the ceramic composite increased as compared to the pristine alumina. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84892542238&partnerID=40&md5=a82c19914827709e90243735e04cbd41 full_text_status: none publication: BioResources volume: 9 number: 1 pagerange: 861-871 refereed: TRUE issn: 19302126 citation: Sasthiryar, S. and Abdul Khalil, H.P.S. and Bhat, A.H. and Ahmad, Z.A. and Islam, M.N. and Zaidon, A. and Dungani, R.
