An unsaturated alkyd having a number-average molecular weight of at least 5000 obtained by esterification and then deglycolization reaction of (a) at least 10 mol % of an .alpha., .beta.-unsaturated polybasic acid or an anhydride thereof relative to 100 mol % of the total polybasic acid including any saturated or non-.alpha., .beta.-unsaturated polybasic acid (or anhydride thereof) and (b) at least 50 mol % of a polyhydroxy alcohol having a boiling point of 300.degree. C. or less at 760 mmHg relative to 100 mol % of the total polyhydroxy alcohol summed up with another polyhydroxy alcohol not defined above. The polyester resin can be widely used in a various applications by employing the excellent physical properties thereof.

High-molecular unsaturated polyester resin

Curable resin compositions comprising (A) polyene components, and (B) unsaturated alicyclic compounds having thiol groups. The compositions are odorless and also excellent in heat resistance, adhesion properties and mechanical properties compared with conventional polyene-polythiols.

Curable resin composition

A curable resin composition is disclosed which comprises (A) a polymer having a (meth)acryloyl group in a side chain, (B) an unsaturated alkyd which is formed by the esterification of a polyvalent alcohol component and an .alpha.-.beta.unsaturated polybasic acid or an anhydride thereof with or without a polybasic acid, the polyvalent alcohol component comprising a phenol-modified epoxy resin which is obtained by the reaction of an epoxy group of an epoxy resin and a phenolic hydroxyl group of a phenol, or the reaction product of a polyvalent phenol compound and a monoepoxide, (C) a polymerizable monomer, and (D) a curing agent. It is suitable for underwater linings, putties, sealing materials, and the like.
