Study of modified phenolic resin
Abstract: Phenolic resin (PF) is the first industrialized synthetic resin, Due to its rich raw material sources, low price, simple technology, and after curing resin’s properties can satisfy many use requirements and with better properties of mechanical properties, dimensional stability, high heat resistance, fine electric insulation performance, high carbon residue rate smoke less and so on. It’s obtained the extremely widespread application in automobile, electric, electron, steel, residence and other related industries.
Silica sol is silicon dioxide particles evenly distributed in the water to form colloidal solution, The pH of the medium environment is very sensitive. Easy to gel or reunion, Direct introduction of water-based silica sol into the polymer matrix could improve its distribution in polymer matrix; improve the performance of the material.Silica sol in phenolic resin emulsion can improve its thermostability and bonding strength, The experimental result indicates that silica sol can improve the thermal decomposition temperature of the phenolic resin, reducing the speed of its thermal decomposition, increase the rate of carbon residue, phenolic resin containing silicon sol 15% carbon residue rate up to 55%,250℃, high temperature resistant performance of colloidal silica phenolic resin composite emulsion is the best.
