AB  - Graphene-reinforced tung oil (TO)-based unsaturated polyester nanocomposites were 
      prepared via in situ melt polycondensation intergrated with Diels(-)Alder addition. 
      Functionalized graphene sheets derived from graphene oxide (GO) were then 
      extracted from the obtained nanocomposites and carefully characterized. 
      Furthermore, dispersion state of the graphene nanosheets in the cured polymer 
      composites and ultimate properties of the resultant biobased nanocomposites were 
      investigated. Mechanical and thermal properties of the TO-based unsaturated 
      polyester resin (UPR) were greatly improved by the incorporation of GO. For 
      example, at the optimal GO content (only 0.10 wt %), the obtained biobased 
      nanocomposite showed tensile strength and modulus of 43.2 MPa and 2.62 GPa, and 
      T(g) of 105.2  degrees C, which were 159%, 191%, and 49.4% higher than those of the 
      unreinforced UPR/TO resin, respectively. Compared to neat UPR, the biobased UPR 
      nanocomposite with 0.1 wt % of GO even demonstrated superior comprehensive 
      properties (comparable stiffness and T(g), while better toughness and thermal 
      stability). Therefore, the developed biobased UPR nanocomposites are very 
      promising to be applied in structural plastics.
