Summary Flory’s polymerization theory can be applied to polymerized oils, provided that the different acids are randomly esterified with the alcohol groups of glycerol. This state is attained when the oils are heated at 300°C. for long periods. The calculated amounts of monomeric triglycerides in polymerized linseed oils are compared with experimental results, and calculated and measured weight average molecular weights are also compared.
