Bisphenol A

A bisphenol-formaldehyde resin was synthesized using the polycondensation method of bisphenol A with formaldehyde. Road bitumen has been modified with this resin. The possibility of its use as a road petroleum bitumen modifier has been established for different contents of the synthesized resin. It has been established that the introduction of synthesized bisphenol-formaldehyde resin into the composition of bitumen significantly increases its heat resistance. The synthesized resin and modified bitumens were characterized using IR spectroscopy.

A new route for obtaining chemically pure and ecological polycarbonates has been developed. The process was carried out without any amines with dimethylosulfoxide (DMSO) as interfacial catalyst. It was established that DMSO was between 80–120 mol % to the quantities of applied monomers. Bisphenol A and bisphenol C [2,2-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl),-1,-1 dichloroethylene] were applied as bisphenolic monomers
