Comparative evaluation of polymers of heat‐bodied conjugated and non‐conjugated linseed and soybean oils

Summary Films from polymers of heat‐bodied, catalytically conjugated linseed and soybean oils have been shown to be superior, in their resistance to water and dilute alkali solution, to films from polymers of non‐conjugated oils that were heat‐bodies alone and with 0.5% diphenyl disulfide as a polymerization catalyst. These results are not accounted for on the basis of the Scheiber theory of polymerization.
