Notes:
Viscosity, number-average and weight-average molecular weights (measured by gel permeation chromatography), and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to monitor the changes in phenolic resoles as a function of time and pH. It was observed that phenolic resoles with pH around 5 are more stable, as indicated by the lowest increase in viscosity and molecular weight. Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopic studies also suggest that the concentration of methylol groups is higher for resoles with pH around 5 and, thereby, indicate a slower reaction.
