Phenolic aralkylation polymers modified by esterification with fatty acids, transesterification with glyceride oils, or other modifications to reactive hydroxyl moieties to improve the characteristics and properties of coating systems in which the modified materials are incorporated. At least a portion of the hydroxyl moieties of the polyol is esterified or otherwise modified. The hydroxyl moieties include those that have been "chain-extended," if desired. |
