Phenolic coatings are usually a convenient and economical way to protect metallic materials against wear and corrosion. Furan resins are analogous to phenolics, as they are obtained by replacing formaldehyde by furfural ...

The kinetics of the polymerisation of resol-type phenolic resins has been modelled taking into account the phenol and formaldehyde equilibria. The kinetic parameters were obtained by adjusting the experimental evolution ...

The Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) can be considered as a versatile raw material with wide applications in the form of surface coatings, paints and varnishes, as well as the production of polymers. Within this context, the ...

The ability to control the carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersion in polymers is considered the key to most applications of nanotube/polymer composites. The carbon nanotube dispersion into water with different surfactants, as ...

This work is focused on the study of the main variables involved in the development of phenolic/carbon prepregs and how these variables are affected by the incorporation of nanoclays. For this, phenolic resin was obtained ...

Resol type resins were prepared in alkaline conditions (potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate) using furfural obtained by acid hydrolysis of abundant renewable resources from agricultural and forestry waste residues. ...

Phenol-furfuryl alcohol resins (PFA) are excellent candidates to replace existing thermoset matrices used in obtaining insulating systems or carbon materials, both in its pure form and reinforced with nanoscale structures. ...
