Abstract:
A thermal process for carbonizing hemp and reducing particle size, mechanically, by grinding or milling said carbonized hemp materials to generate a precise particle size hemp char and combining the hemp char particles with a polymer into a master batch.

Claim (Index 9):
A process for creating a masterbatch comprising a plurality of hemp char particles and a polymer comprising: carbonizing a portion of a hemp material in a furnace, said furnace being flushed with nitrogen and then heated to greater than 1100\u00b0 C.; wherein the temperature greater than 1100\u00b0 C. is held for at least 60 minutes; nitrogen flow is maintained over the at least 60 minutes to maintain a low oxygen environment to create a char; removing the char from the furnace and allowing it to cool; milling the char by a milling process for a period sufficient to reduce the char into a plurality of particles having average particle size of less than 2 microns to create char particles of less than 2 microns; combining the char particles having an average particle size of less than 2 microns with the at least one polymer, wherein the ratio of char particles to polymer is between 10:90 and 50:50; mixing the polymer and the char particles to form the masterbatch.
