Acrylated epoxidised soybean oil AESO

Acrylated epoxidised soybean oil (AESO) (Rg. 7.6) is synthesised from the reaction of acrylic acid with epoxidised triglycerides. Similarly malein-ated hydroxylated soybean oil (Rg. 7.6) can be obtained by the reaction of epoxidised oil with maleic anhydride. [Pg.191]

Acrylated epoxidised soybean oil (AESO)/impure MWCNT (MWCNT and carbon soot) nanocomposite exhibits improved mechanical properties with the tensile modulus increased by 30% at 0.28 wt% CNT loading. However higher multi-walled carbon nanotube loadings resulted in significant aggregation during polymerisation. AESO is therefore believed to act as a solubilising surfactant in this system. ...

A new hybrid composite was produced by a combination of synthetic and natural fibres with the same AESO matrix, which offered the low cost of natural fibre with the high strength of synthetic fibre. The resultant properties may vary, depending on the composition of the fibre type and follow a weight fraction rule. It has been observed from SEM micrographs that hemp acrylated epoxidised soybean oil (ESO) composite shows fracture surfaces with a larger number of pull outs than the flax-based composites.
