Abstract
The processability, mechanical properties and flame resistance of glas s fiber reinforced pultruded novolac type phenolic resin based composi te have been investigated. The suitable viscosity of novolac, between 1200-2700 cps, for pultrusion processes was synthesized. The novolac t ype phenolic resin shows lower processing temperature, longer pot life , and lower water content than the resole type resin. Hence, the novol ac phenolic resin is more stable in the pultrusion process than the re sole resin. The resultant composites of novolac type showed good mecha nical properties and high flame resistance. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Limited.
