The effects of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as micro-filler on interfacial porosity and pore size distribution of polymer concrete (PC) is the main aim of this chapter. Beginning with a brief introduction about the topic, the materials and method used in this study are explained. Two categories of fillers were involved in this study, fine-micro filler (ground POFA and is paired with calcium carbonate), and coarse micro-filler (unground POFA and is paired with silica sand). It is revealed that the replacement of overall types of micro-filler at different filler content decreased the average pore diameter of PC significantly, except for PC incorporating unground POFA. Additionally, incorporation of fine-micro filler with dispersion characteristic could significantly reduce the interfacial porosity of PC as compared to incorporation of coarse micro-filler in PC.

Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is solid waste from palm oil industries discarded after burning of shell, fiber, kernel and empty fruit bunches to heat boiler and generate electricity. A standard porcelain consisting of clay, feldspar and quartz is produced by sintering at temperature between 1300 °C to 1400 °C for toughness and translucency. This research developed a prediction model for optimum physical and mechanical properties of porcelain by addition of Fe2O3 at 5 wt.%. Quartz was replaced with POFA powder at 15 wt.% and Fe2O3 was also added at 5 wt.% of POFA mixed with others porcelain composition. Then the powder was dry pressed into pellet at 91 MPa and the samples were sintered at 1150 °C. The bulk density, compressive strength and Vickers microhardness were found to increase by addition of Fe2O3 at 5 wt.%. Prediction model was developed and from the predicted values it is revealed that, the model is efficient and good for the purpose of this research.
