Over the last two decades, new water-soluble monocyclic aromatic (MA) polymers have been developed: sulfonated phenol–formaldehyde polymer (SPF), aminosulfonate–phenol–formaldehyde polymer (AS) and ...

In order to develop a novel phenolic resin, we attempted to use the methylol moiety on the benzene ring, which is formed as an intermediate during the acid-catalyzed addition–condensation reaction ...

(Nanowerk News) Last winter, MIT researchers discovered that a phenol-formaldehyde polymer transformed into a glassy carbon material in a process similar to baking reaches its best combination of high ...

Phenol formaldehyde (PF) is a synthetic polymer produced by reacting phenol with formaldehyde. Fillers, such as wood pulp and cellulose, can be used to reinforce PF.

170 participants, mainly from large industrial companies, were welcomed to the Maison de la Chimie in Paris, France, on 12 December by a constellation of white coats. This was a symbolic way of ...
