Conventional novolak phenolic resins generally possess molecular weights of 1200 or less and exhibit unsatisfactory heat resistance and mechanical properties for all intended uses. Attempts to produce higher-molecular-weight resins have failed. These difficulties have been overcome and a high-molecular-weight novolak substituted phenolic resin having a number average molecular weight of at least 1500 is prepared by reacting (A) (i) a phenol component mainly comprising a bifunctional phenol or (ii) a low-molecular-weight novolak substituted phenolic resin derived from this phenol and an aldehyde, with (B) a chain extender selected from (i) dimethylolated products of bifunctional or trifunctional phenols, (ii) a low-molecular-weight resol substituted phenolic resin derived from a phenol component mainly comprising a bifunctional phenol and an aldehyde, (iii), an aldehyde, (iv) a ketone, (v) a diol and (vi) a dihalide in the presence of an acid catalyst, with the proviso that if the reactant (A) is the phenol component (i), the chain extender (B), is the resol substituted phenolic resin (ii). These high-molecular-weight novolak resins can be used in setting resin compositions with setting resins such as epoxy resins.
传统的酚醛树脂分子量一般为 1200 或更低,其耐热性和机械性能不能满足所有预期用途。生产高分子量树脂的尝试均告失败。我们克服了这些困难,制备了一种平均分子量至少为 1500 的高分子量 Novolak 取代酚醛树脂,其反应物为(A)(i)主要由双官能团苯酚组成的苯酚组分,或(ii)由该苯酚和醛衍生的低分子量 Novolak 取代酚醛树脂,以及(B)选自以下物质的扩链剂(i)双官能团或三官能团苯酚的二甲醇化产物、(ii) 在酸催化剂存在下,从主要由双官能团酚和醛组成的酚组分衍生出的低分子量解析取代酚醛树脂;(iii)醛;(iv)酮;(v)二元醇和(vi)二卤化物,但如果反应物(A)是酚组分(i),则扩链剂(B)是解析取代酚醛树脂(ii)。这些高分子量的酚醛树脂可与环氧树脂等固化树脂一起用于固化树脂组合物中。
