Phenolic Resins

Many chemicals we use in everyday life are derived from fossil resources. Due to the increasing concerns on the use of fossil resources, there has been much interest in producing chemicals from renewable resources through biotechnology. Phenol is an important commodity chemical, and is a starting ma more

ABSTRACT Butyl rubber (also known as isobutylene isoprene rubber, IIR) containing plasticizers and cured by phenolic resin is widely used to manufacture rubber products exposed to high temperature environments. Therefore, carbon black (CB)‐filled IIR containing a petroleum‐based plasticizer [nap more

Fossil‐based phenol is used to a large extend to produce phenol–formaldehyde (PF) resins, which are most commonly applied in engineered wood products such as plywood. Pyrolysis oil from straw pyrolysis might be a suitable bio‐based substitute for such applications. By staged condensation of flash more
