Evaluation of the Effect of Oil Types Used in Alkyd Resin Synthesis on Application Potentials Using the DFT Approach (2025)

Alkyd resins are one of the most widely used classes of film-forming polymers, such as paints and coatings. The degree of unsaturation, fatty acid composition, and molecular structure of the oil used in resin synthesis determine the film formation rate, hardness, yellowing resistance, and overall pe
