Processing properties and pyrolysis behavior of novolak-hexamethylenetetramine mixtures

AbstractThis work investigates the influence of the hexamethylenetetramine (hexa) content on the rheological features, pyrolysis reactions, mass-loss kinetics and char yield for two phenolic resins, each with different novolak-hexa mixtures from 0 wt.-% to 15 wt.-%. Curing and viscosity of resins wa...

description AbstractThis work investigates the influence of the hexamethylenetetramine (hexa) content on the rheological features, pyrolysis reactions, mass-loss kinetics and char yield for two phenolic resins, each with different novolak-hexa mixtures from 0 wt.-% to 15 wt.-%. Curing and viscosity of resins was studied using a rheometer. Pyrolysis, evolved gases and char yield were investigated with TG-FTIR-GC/MS. The obtained results show that the curing of resins shifts to lower temperatures whereas the viscosity and the residual carbon amount both increase with increasing hexa-contents. The presented data suggests a hexa-induced microgel formation for phenolic resins. Models for viscosity and char yield were developed and present a valuable tool to tailor the resin-hardener mixture for the desired application, enable a more efficient processing technology and contribute to a deeper understanding of the pyrolysis of novolak resins.
