A curable resin composition comprising a resin formed by polymerizing in the presence of a transition metal complex an oxidatively polymerizable compound comprising a vegetable oil containing a phenol compound; and a process for producing a curable resin composition comprising a resin formed by polymerizing in the presence of a catalyst an oxidatively polymerizable compound comprising a vegetable oil containing a phenol compound, wherein the catalyst is a transition metal complex. The curable resin composition is useful as a raw material for a coating composition resembling Japanese lacquer, frictional material, brake lining material, brake pad material, film-forming material, compound for recording materials, material for inks, material for coating compositions, material for adhesives, epoxy resin, material for photoresists or antioxidants, and starting material for functional polymeric materials. |
