Review of the kinetics and simulations of linseed oil autoxidation.

• Linseed oil chemistry in the context of drying of paint is comprehensively reviewed. • The review discusses experimental data similar to outcomes of computational modeling. • Advances in computational modeling related to oils are discussed. This review summarizes computational modeling literature concerning linseed oil autoxidation in the context of oil paint. After discussing the chemical structure and composition of linseed oil, an overview is given of polymer properties of the material and the experimental techniques used to infer these properties. The review proceeds with the survey of existing computational modeling techniques used to investigate the drying process of linseed oil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
