phenol-formaldehyde resin

The reaction between novolac phenol-formaldehyde resin and glycidylmethacrylate has been studied in the presence of potassium hydroxide and the synthesis procedure of phenol-formaldehyde resin with unsaturated side bonds has been suggested. The effective rates and activation energy of the mentioned reaction have been calculated. The structure of synthesized resin was confirmed by IR-spectroscopy. The synthesized resin may be used as active component of polymeric blends based on ED-20 industrial epoxy resin, its peroxy derivative (PO) and TGM-3 oligoesteracrylate.

Phenol-formaldehyde resins (PhFR) with reactive methacrylate fragments or labile peroxy bonds in the side branches used as a polymeric component of bitumen-polymeric mixtures have been investigated. Taking into account that PhFR with peroxy fragments based on epoxy resin does not described in literature, its synthesis procedure has been developed. The kinetic regularities of the reaction between peroxy derivative of epoxy resin (PDER) and phenol group of PhFR were studied taking the reaction of PDER with phenol as an example.
