Abstract
A series of the syntheses of phenol-formaldehyde resoles was carried out in the presence of trimethyl-, triethyl-, tripropyl-, and tributylamines and sodium hydroxide as catalysts for this process. The rate constants were cal culated for the partial reactions identified in the synthesis. Also, the pe rformance properties of the resins obtained and the hardened resin samples were estimated in simple tests. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
