Author(s)

Sheng Lin-Gibson, J S. Riffle

Abstract

This book chapter emphasizes the recent mechanistic and kinetic findings on phenolic oligomer synthesis and network formation. The synthesis and characterization of both novolac and resole type phenolic resins and their resulting networks are described. Three types of networks, novolac-hexamethylenetetramine, novolac-epoxies, and thermally cured resoles will be primarily discussed.
