This polymerised RSO was then subjected to acrylation by using MMA as an acrylic monomer and BPO as free radial initiator. The viscosities of the acrylated oil were examined. Alkyd resins are prepared from as is and acrylated RSO samples. The physical properties and air dried and baked film properties of these alkyd resins were studied and compared ER -
