Research Summary

Phenolic resins are synthetic polymers derived from the reaction of phenol (an aromatic alcohol) with formaldehyde. These resins have a cross-linked molecular structure, making them thermosetting and rigid. Phenolic resins are known for their exceptional heat resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. They find widespread use in various industrial applications, including the production of molded parts, laminates, adhesives, coatings, and friction materials. Phenolic resins are valued for their flame-retardant properties and are often chosen for applications where fire resistance is crucial. Additionally, they are employed in the manufacturing of electrical components, such as circuit boards and insulating materials. The versatility and durability of phenolic resins make them integral to numerous industries, contributing to the development of materials with high-performance characteristics.
