Morgan, Gilbert

These are thermoset polymers made from phenol or, less commonly, phenolic-type compounds such as the cresols, xylenols, and resorcinol, together with formaldehyde. They had been known for some time - G.T (later Sir Gilbert) Morgan discovered them in the early 1890s when attempting (unsuccessfully) to make artificial dyestuffs by reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. But this knowledge had not been exploited before 1907, the year in which Leo... 

Several researchers (for instance, Morgan Morrison, 1999) have recognised that there is no such thing as a unique way to produce models. However, other researchers have discussed the general steps by which they are produeed (Clement, 1990 Halloun, 2004). Justi Gilbert (2002) have produced a Model of Modelling framework (Fig. 12.1). 

Micklethwait joined the IC research group of Gilbert T. Morgan,81 becoming one of the most prolific women authors of chemistry publications of her time, co-authoring at least 22 papers between 1902 and 1914. In his personal reminiscences, Morgan commented ...

Sir Gilbert Morgan discovered phenol-formaldehyde polymers in the early 1890s while attempting to make artificial dyestuffs, but it was Leo Baekeland in the USA that exploited the reaction and obtained a patent for a commercial synthetic polymer in 1907. Phenol and formaldehyde were reacted in alkaline conditions with loss of water which formed an intermediate solid or liquid...
