Preparation of [N-Phenolic Acrylamide] Formaldehyde Resins

In this work, many types of N-Phenolic acrylamide polymers were prepared, from reaction of para.ortho and meta phenol amines or with secondary phenolamines with poly acrylic acid .the modification of poly acrylicacid to N-phenolic acrylamide polymers then curring the thermoplastic polymers with formaldehyde to converted them to high thermal resistance crosslinked polymers and higher mechanical properties. This is a new method which converted the linier poly acrylicacid to poly[N-phenol acrylamide] then converted to phenol formaldehyde resins with high thermally stable which improving the molding and curring the prepared linier poly acrylamide to their corresponding phenolic resins. The all prepared linier and crosslinked polymers were characteized and tested by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and mechanical prope(ies. Therefore it was concluded that the phenolic resins could be possibly used as insulation material and for other industries applications.
