Alkyd resins, in paints

Another commercially important crosslinking process that involves unsaturated polymer precursors is the so-called drying of alkyd resins in paints. This process is not drying at all, at least not in the sense of mere loss of solvent to leave behind a solid residue. Instead, the main process is the conversion of high relative molar mass molecules to a crosslinked structure via...
