Resole-Type Phenol–Formaldehyde Resin with Neutralized Liquid Products of Fast Pyrolysis of Birch Wood

Abstract

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. A method of preparation of a phenol–formaldehyde resin by replacing phenol with liquid products of the fast pyrolysis of wood is described. Strength tests reveal that substituting a pyrolysis liquid for 60% of phenol in the phenol–formaldehyde resin allows strength to be increased by 6% relative to the control sample.
