A comparative study has been carried out on performance of two-dimensionally reinforced carbon/ phenolic (C/P) and carbon/epoxy (C/E) composites, subjected to low amplitude reciprocating wear at different temperatures. The C/P composite has shown greater wear rate than the C/E composite, with the difference being modest at room temperature, and larger at 250 °C. The values of coefficient of fri...

The purpose of this study is to develop a low-formaldehyde-emitting resin system for medium density fibreboards (MDF). A combination of polyamines with phenolic resins seems to be suitable for this purpose. To produce panels with such a resin system, polyethylenimine, and a phenolic resin were separately applied on fibres and subsequently made into boards in a thermal pressing process. It was d...

Demulsification is a method used to reduce or disrupt the water - crude oil emulsion system without uttering initial composition of oil. This process done by introduction chemicals called demulsifiers, which break into aqueous and organic phases. In this study, demulsifier formulated was base-catalyzed phenol-formaldehyde resin known as resoles, with ratios phenol formaldehyde, varied between 1...

The performance of two phenol-formaldehyde resin-based activated carbons prepared in our laboratory, as potential adsorbents for precombustion CO2 capture has been evaluated under static (adsorption isotherms) and dynamic (adsorption-desorption cycles conducted in a fixed bed) conditions. Most of the literature on CO2 capture with solid sorbents is based on equilibrium CO2 adsorption capacities...
