The oil palm ash was used to produce carbon black nanofillers with a size of 50 to 100 nm via a ball milling process after undergoing pyrolysis in a furnace at 1000 °C. CNFs were added to the alumina at varying weight fractions and sintered at 1400 °C for the production of CNF ceramic composites. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), electrical conductivity (EC), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) of the ceramic composites were measured. The CTE did not increase with increasing CNF weight and behaved like an alumina matrix. The EC (I-V) showed positive results with increasing CNF weight. The ESD measurement gave predictable results on the dissipative characteristics of ceramic composites due to the insulating nature of alumina with the addition of CNF. Thus, the addition of OPA to alumina may present a suitable route for improving the electrical properties of advanced ceramics.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Ball milling process,Ceramic composites,Electrical conductivity,Electrical studies,Oil palm ash,Thermal and electrical properties,Thermal coefficients,Voltage current[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Alumina,Electrostatic discharge (ESD),Oil palm ash (OPA),Thermal coefficient (CTE),Voltage -current (IV)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.15376/biores.9.2.3143-3151[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
