Claim 24:
25. 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;
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 %; and
further comprising passing a gas-containing stream through the reaction mixture during the reaction of the sulfur-containing compound with the oil, wherein the gas-containing stream is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen and inert gas.
