Here thermo-oxidative degradation of thermoplastic-based composites filled with two types of carbon filler including bituminous (Pittsburgh No.8, P8) and sub-bituminous (Powder River Basin, PRB) coals were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis. Oxidation induction time (OIT) and activation energy (AE) for coal plastic composites (CPCs), HDPE, and commercially available wood plastic composites (WPCs) were determined using isothermal and isoconversional kinetic methods. OIT values for CPC increased with coal content, indicating higher thermo-oxidative stability. AE values obtained using isothermal method were 52–116 kJ/mol for all CPC formulations, 32 kJ/mol for HDPE, and 33–114 kJ/mol for WPCs. AEs for CPCs obtained using isoconversional methods were not constant but rather dependent on the degree of degradation with CPC/ P8 coal possessing higher overall AE. Incorporating coal into HDPE increased thermo-oxidative stability of the resulting composite, indicating coal potentially acts as a natural primary and secondary antioxidant for polymer materials.
