Abstract

Abstract A nonconventional route for the manufacture of liquid or solid, one-step phenolic resins is discussed in this paper. Base-catalyzed condensation occurs in dispersed particles suspended in water as the continuous phase. Protective colloid type and concentration are major factors in determining particle size and, therefore, the ability to obtain either nonsettling dispersions or particulate solids that can be recovered and handled as powders. The technology is applicable to a variety of phenolic and aldehydic starting materials. In contrast to conventional manufacturing procedures, the current technology affords efficient process control and great latitude in selection of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and functionality.
