Purpose: The aim of the article is to present the thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of the produced polymer composites with a filler in the form of charcoal powder. Design/methodology/approach: The tests were carried out on samples of pure polypropylene (PP) and polymer composites, the matrix of which is polypropylene (PP), and the filler was charcoal powder with a volume fraction of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The tested polymer composites in the form of granules were produced by extrusion, and then standardised test profiles were made by injection moulding. Findings: The hardness of the tested composites was determined by the Shore D method, the grain size distribution of the filler used was determined using the laser method and its thermal stability was tested using the TGA thermogravimetric analysis. The volume and surface resistivity were also determined and the density was determined. It was found that the charcoal powder used as a filler is characterised by high thermal stability - up to 600°C - and with an increase in its volume share in the polymer matrix, the hardness and density of the produced composites increases. Practical implications: The tested composites can be used as structural composites for complex elements requiring high hardness and strength. Originality/value: The research results indicate the possibility of using charcoal as a filler in polymer matrix, which, due to its low production cost, may be an alternative to expensive carbon fillers.
