  • Description: Nanofibers, that is, fibers whose diameter is of the order of a few nanometers, such as carbon nanotubes and nanocellulose, have the potential to provide composites with unique strength and stiffness. Bio-based materials have enormous potential for the development of new nanocomposites, either through the use of nanofillers, such as nanotubes, clays, and lignin, or by the use of nanosized molecules, such as proteins, triglycerides, and random coil polymers. Triglyceride molecules, when suitably functionalized, have the unique ability to self-assemble into a hierarchical structure, thus, such molecules should behave in a very synergistic manner with nanosized objects, such as carbon nanotubes and nanoclays. Their ability to self-assemble on flat surfaces should allow them to behave as surfactants for carbon nanotubes, which are very difficult to solubilize into stable dispersions and also intercalate and exfoliate nanoclays as desired. This chapter explores the development of new nanocomposites using several functionalized triglycerides interacting with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with focus on the potential of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) to disperse CNTs.
