Preferred reaction pathways in the base-catalysed synthesis of phenolic resole resins
thesis
posted on 2017-10-06, 13:34 authored by John A. PricePhenol-formaldehyde resins (P/F ratio 1/1.75) were
synthesized using paraform and 97% phenol as reactants
under the influence of a basic catalyst (0.5 mole
catalyst/mole phenol). Three catalysts (i) sodium
hydroxide, (ii) barium hydroxide, (iii) triethylamine were
used to monitor the effect that the chemical nature of the
catalyst had on the course of the reaction. [Continues.]
