Abstract
Though products based on phenol—formaldehyde resins have been widely accepted in many applications, they have their own shortcomings. In order to improve their performance, studies continue to be made concerning replacement of the phenolic as well as the aldehyde component of the resin. The present paper is based on preliminary work undertaken to develop a new resin based on bisphenol-A and furfural; theoretical considerations indicated that such a resin should have highly desirable properties. Hence, a detailed study has been carried out to optimise the conditions for resin formation. Preliminary evaluations of the product in molding powders have indicated great potentialities for the resin, because of its’ superior thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. The probable industrial applications of this resin have been indicated.
