Abstract
A sequence of para-tert-butylphenol (p-TBF) formaldehyde (F) novolac resins were synthesized altering the molar ratios of p-TBF and F involved in the condensation reaction. H2SO4 was used as catalyst. The molecular weight of the synthesized resins varied in the range of 440-1220. The resins were cha racterized by IR and H-1-RMN spectroscopy techniques. The thermal propertie s such as softening temperatures and degradation profile were also investig ated.
