Birchwood biochar as partial carbon black replacement in styrene–butadiene rubber composites:
TLDR
In this paper, a slow pyrolysis biochar that contained 89% carbon and <2% ash was used as filler for styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).Abstract:
Birchwood feedstock was used to make slow pyrolysis biochar that contained 89% carbon and <2% ash. This biochar was blended with carbon black (CB) as filler for styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR). Comp...read more

Mechanical, Chemical, and Physical Properties of Wood and Perennial Grass Biochars for Possible Composite Application
Ehsan Behazin,Emmanuel O. Ogunsona,Arturo Rodriguez-Uribe,Amar K. Mohanty,Manjusri Misra,Anthony O. Anyia +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of biochars have been investigated in light of potential alternative and novel applications, and the state-of-the-art quantitative nano-mechanical measurement yielded a modulus of elasticity of approximately 10 GPa for the wood chip biochar, while the grass-based samples exhibited a comparatively lower modulus.

Biochar as a Fuel: 1. Properties and Grindability of Biochars Produced from the Pyrolysis of Mallee Wood under Slow-Heating Conditions
Hanisom Abdullah,Hongwei Wu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility to pretreat biomass to produce biochar as a solid biofuel to address the issues of high transport cost and poor biomass grindability, and showed that converting biomass to biochar leads to a substantial increase in fuel mass energy density from ∼10 GJ/ton of green biomass to ∼28 GJ /t of biochars prepared from pyrolysis at 320 °C, in comparison to 26 GJ 2 /t for Collie coal.
