Claim 23:
24. A method of polymerizing a biorenewable, previously modified, or functionalized oil, comprising:
heating a biorenewable, previously modified, or functionalized oil to at least 100° C.;
adding a sulfur-containing compound to the heated oil; and
allowing the sulfur-containing compound to react with the oil to produce a polymerized oil crosslinked with the sulfur-containing compound, the oil comprising
a polymeric distribution having about 2 to about 80 wt % oligomer content, and
a sulfur content ranging from 0.001 wt % to 8 wt %;

wherein
a weight ratio of the polymerized oil to a combination of the biorenewable, previously modified, or functionalized oil and the sulfur content of the polymerized oil is 1:1, or
all sulfur-containing crosslinks present in the polymerized oil are between molecules of the biorenewable, previously modified, or functionalized oil, or
a combination thereof.
