Abaca fiber, as one of the natural fibers, possesses good mechanical strength and low density. Activated carbon, commonly used as an adsorbent particle, is also utilized as a filler in fiber-reinforced composites. This study aims to characterize the activated carbon synthesized from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and analyze the effect of adding activated carbon at variations of 0 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt% on the tensile strength of epoxy/abaca composites. The composites were fabricated using the hand layup method followed by vacuum bagging. The characterization of the activated carbon showed high porosity with an amorphous structure and a porous surface area of 742 m<sup>2</sup>/g and a pore volume of 0.35 cm³/g. The use of 1 wt% activated carbon filler in epoxy/abaca composites resulted in the highest tensile strength (48.90 MPa). The decrease in tensile strength at higher filler content is attributed to poor dispersion of activated carbon particles, which weakens the interface between the matrix and abaca fibers. These findings highlight the potential of optimized activated carbon loading to enhance the mechanical properties of natural fiber-reinforced composites, particularly for applications in the automotive, construction, and aerospace industries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14236,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterization","volume":"30 8","pages":"Pages 938-955"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145492884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
