Phenolic resins are polymers with a wide variety of applications. They are used as paint and varnish, coatings, composite wood materials, industrial luminates, paper impregnation, foundry resins, abrasive materials and in rubbers and adhesives. Since the first edition was published in 1985, further development took place which is totally included in this completely revised 2nd edition.

Phenolic resins are still a hot topic The 2nd edition contains all the new developments since 1985 No competition on the market Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext
The salient and versatile features of phenolic resins provide favorable comparisons between them and other thermosetting resins as well as thermoplastic products: thermal behavior; high strength level; long term thermal and mechanical stability; fire, smoke and low toxicity characteristics; electrical and thermal insulating capabilities; cost performance characteristics. The technical content of the book describes significant new phenolic resin chemistry, transformations and recent mechanistic pathways of resole and novolak cure. A vastly expanded treatment of selected application areas consists of wood composites, insulation/textile felts, molding compounds, paper/fabric impregnation, foundry, abrasives, friction and refractory. New applications with up-to-date developments include high performance and advanced composites, imaging/photoresist and carbon/graphite areas. Also included in detail: Standardized test methods important for ISO 9001 ff certification. TOC:Part A: Chemistry/Production: Raw Materials; Phenolic Resins: Chemistry, Reactions, Mechanism.- Production of Phenolic Resins.- Structure (Methods of Analysis). Part B: Application of Phenolic Resins: Thermosets: Overview, Definitions and Comparisons.- Economic Significance of Phenolic Resins, Survey of Applications and Six Bonding Functions.- Chemical, Physical and Application Technology Parameters of Phenolic Resins.- Industrial Safety and Ecological Questions (Raw Materials, Recycling, Environment).- Conclusion: Guidelines for Future Developments of Phenolic Resins and Related Technologies.
