Both polymerization and dehydration of the resins under microwave irradiation are comparedwith those under conventional heating and further analysis is made. The results show that compared with those underconventional heating, the polymerization and dehydration time under microwave irradiation are shortened by 85.2% and80.7% respectively; On the other hand, the polymerization and dehydration under microwave irradiation lead to aremarkable increase in flow distance of the resins. Furthermore, the polymerization under microwave irradiation leads toreduced cure time, while the dehydration under microwave irradiation causes a slight increase in cure time.展开更多

The study indicated that it was difficult to obtain fast curing novolaks under strongly acidic conditions alone. A novel synthetic procedure was proposed for preparing novolaks in a two-step manner, a divalent metal salt catalyzed novolak preparation followed by a strong acid catalyzed novolak preparation. The optimum conditions for the two-step procedure were determined by orthogonal experiment design. The results showed that it was easy to prepare fast curing novolaks with cure time in the range of 20 s to 30 s and softening point in the range of 80℃ to 90℃ under complex catalysis conditions.展开更多
