Otner Collectors Tarry particulates and other difficult-to-handle hquids have been collected on a dry, expendable phenol formaldehyde-bonded glass-fiber mat (Goldfield, J. Air Pollut. Control A.SSOC., 20, 466 (1970)] in roll form which is advanced intermittently into a filter frame. Superficial gas velocities are 2.5 to 3.5 m/s (8.2 to 11.5 ft/s), and pressure drop is typically 41 to 46 cm (16 to 18 in) of water. CoUection efficiencies of 99 percent have been obtained on submicrometer particles. Brady [Chem. Eng. Prog., 73(8), 45 (1977)] has discussed a cleanable modification of this approach in which the gas is passed through a reticulated foam filter that is slowly rotated and solvent-cleaned. 

A thermohardening composition for glass fiber reinforced plastics consists of PPO, BPA/DC and a bismaleimide [45]. Still higher heat resistance is achieved, if the poly-functional maleimide, based on aniline-formaldehyde condensation products (Scheme 11), is used [46]. 

The first demonstration of the industrial importance of heme peroxidases in grafting applications has been the development of hybrid resins from renewable sources to replace phenol-formaldehyde based resins. Phenolic resins are widely used in surface coatings, adhesives, laminates, molding, friction materials, abrasives, flame retardants, carbon membranes, glass fiber laminates, fiberboards, and protein-based wood adhesives, [5]. Table 7.1 and Fig. 7.2 summarize some of the... 

The single largest use for the phenol-formaldehyde resins is in adhesive applications for the production of plywood, chipboard, and particle board. The resin can comprise as much as one-third of the weight of the board, particularly of particle boards, which contributes to a total demand for phenolics in the U.S.A. of over half a million metric tonnes per year. They are also used as the matrix adhesives for the production of several types of grindstones. In combination with paper, woven cotton, glass fiber, etc., components, phenolics contribute to the production of engineering and decorative laminates in the form of rods, tubes, and sheets. The sheet products Arborite and Formica are familiar as the finished surfaces of furniture, bathroom, and kitchen counter tops and other areas where attractive patterns and water resistance are important characteristics. Molded products from phenolics are also important where heat or electrical resistance is required, such as saucepan and toaster handles, switches, and the printed circuit boards used in computers. Recent phenolics production in the U.S.A. has totaled over 500,000 metric tonnes per year, not including fillers [38]. 

Including 4-bromophenol in the phenol-formaldehyde resol system impacts the cross-link density of the cured product. In a systematic study of this copolymer, a comparison was made among the polymers obtained using phenol only, a 9 1 mole ratio of phenol to 4-bromophenol and a 1 1 mole ratio of phenol to 4-bromophenol. Comparisons included measurement of interlaminar shear strength and cone calorimetry tests of composites prepared using these phenolic resins and S2-glass fiber plain weave. 

Lignin fillers decreased the cure rate of phenol-formaldehyde resin. Here, the filler acts as a diluent and does not have the ability to affect the reaction kinetics by interaction with the polymer. Glass fibers also decreased the rate of cure of a phenolic resin in another study.

A particularly promising route is to treat the fiber with a phenolic resin based on cardanol formaldehyde (CF). This is a natural alkyl-phenol, in which the methylol groups are able to react with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose, while the long C-15 alkyl group of cardanol facilitates the formation of an adhesive bond with non-polar TPs. It is concluded that Jute fiber thermoplastic RPs can bear comparison with glass fiber RPs. However, the best solution may well be a combination of treated jute with glass. 

In general, rigid plastics are superior to elastomers in radiation resistance but are inferior to metals and ceramics. Examples of materials, which will respond satisfactorily in the range of 10 and 10 erg per gram, are fluoroplastics, glass fiber-filled phenolics, certain epoxies, polyurethane, polystyrene, mineral-filled polyesters, silicone, and fiirane resins. The next group of resins in order of radiation resistance includes polyethylene, melamine, urea formaldehyde resins, unfilled phenolic, and silicone resins. Those materials, which have poor radiation resistance, include methyl methacrylate, imfilled polyesters, cellulosics, polyamides, and fluorocarbons (Tables 9.16 and 9.17).
