Bolt-Bearing Yield Strength of Three-Layered Cross-Laminated Timber Treated with Phenol Formaldehyde Resin

Enhancing Mechanical Strength of Inorganic Geopolymer by Using Phenol Resin

The effect of organic phenol on the compressive and flexural strength of a metakaolin based geopolymer is studied. It was found that 12 wt% phenol resins can increase the compressive and flexural strength by 30% and 65% respectively. In addition, the reinforcing effect of phenol resin is higher in Na-PS and Na-PSS type geopolymers rather than Na-PSDS. Two distinct endothermic peaks were detecte...

Thermal Degradation and Stability of Accelerated-curing Phenol-formaldehyde Resin

In order to study the thermal stability of accelerated-curing PF resin, the curing behavior of fresh PF resin was investigated in the presence of single accelerator of methylolurea derivatives (MMU), magnesium hydrate (Mg(OH)2), 25% aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and propylene carbonate (PC). Also their optimum combination was added in fresh PF resin. The thermal stability of cu...

Effect of Modification with Phenol Formaldehyde Resin on the Mechanical Properties of Wood from Chinese Fir

Samples of Chinese fir were treated with either low-molecular-weight or commercial phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins. The macroand micromechanical properties of the treated and untreated samples were determined. The average longitudinal tensile modulus of elasticity (MOE) was 30.88% larger for the samples treated with the low-molecular-weight PF resin than it was for the untreated samples. The av...

Preparation and characterization of carbon materials from phenol formaldehyde resin with pore forming substance

This paper describes the carbonization behavior of phenol-formaldehyde resin (PF) blended in the presence of simple organic substances of m-phthalic acid (PA), trimesic acid (TMA) and phloroglucinol (PG). The weight loss and heat flow were monitored in order to study their carbonization behavior by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. These ...
