Abstract
Morphology, electrical conductivity, specific wear rates, and densities of carbon ceramic composites as a result of the distribution of organic coconut coir powder in the organoclay matrix, and sintering temperature variations had been investigated and studied. The raw material of matrix was tested with XRF and XRD. The higher the content of coconut coir powder and the pyrolysis sintering temperature, the higher the electrical conductivity of the composite, and the lower the composite wear rate. This fabricated carbon ceramic composite is unique, the content of coco fiber powder, which turns into carbon, decreases the wear rate, increases electrical conductivity, and produces an increasingly lightweight ceramic carbon composite.

Keywords: Specific wear rate, Electrical conductivity, Organoclay, Carbon ceramic composites, Sintering pyrolysis
