Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Soybean oil/epoxy based composites are prepared by an extrusion freeform fabrication method. These composites are reinforced with a combination of organically modified clay and fibers. Glass, carbon and mineral fibers are also used in the formulations. The effects of curing agents, curing temperature, oil/resin ratio, clay loading and fiber loading on mechanical properties of composites are studied and reported.
