Curing Behavior Characterization of Phenolic Resin Derived from Starch

Article Preview

Abstract:

With increasing concern about the protection of the environment and the shortage of petroleum resources, the synthesis of polymer materials from renewable biomass resources has attracted a lot of attention. Starch based phenolic resin was prepared via hydrolyzation and condensation of starch at different temperatures from 120 °C to 200 °C. Gel time, apparent activation energies for curing reaction, impact strength, crystal structure and thermal resistance were studied. The results showed that: (1) the apparent activation energy for curing reaction was 19.8 kJ/mol; (2) crystal structure changed as a function of starch hydrolysis; (3) electron microscopy showed the disappearance of starch during the hydrolyzation; (4) the impact strength of starch based phenolic resin was 741 J/m2 and residual mass at 600 °C was 40%. These results were compared with those of formaldehyde based phenolic resin, and it was detected that starch could be used to prepare phenolic resin in replacement of formaldehyde
