Phenols spectroscopic analysis

Various ionization methods were used to bombard phenol-formaldehyde oligomers in mass spectroscopic analysis. The molecular weights of resole resins were calculated using field desorption mass spectroscopy of acetyl-derivatized samples.74 Phenol acetylation was used to enable quantitative characterization of all molecular fractions by increasing the molecular weights in increments of 42. 

Let us call this the donor-acceptor complex proposal, similar to that presented recently for adsorption of substituted nitrobenzenes and nitrophenols on mineral surfaces [739]. The experiments on which this proposal is based are (1) isotherms of phenol, nitrobenzene, and m- and / -nitrophenol on one commercial activated carbon at pH = 2-7 and very low solute concentrations ( <1.5% of the solubility limit of these species [6]) and (2) detailed infrared (internal reflection) spectroscopic analysis of the surface after adsorption of / -nitrophenol. Interestingly, neither in this study, nor in any subsequent study that supports this mechanism, has a similar analysis been performed with carbons containing varying concentrations of carbonyl surface groups. Also of interest is that the authors dismiss the electrostatic explanation of the reported pH effects by assuming that the isoelectric point of the carbon (which was dried at 200°C for 12-24 h) was ca. 2.4. 

Chapter 5 summarizes the investigation of lignocellulosic flax fiber-based reinforcement requirements to obtain structural and complex shape polymer composites. This chapter discusses in detail the possibility of forming complex shape structural composites which are highly desirable for advanced applications. Chapter 7 focuses on the structure and properties of cellulose-based starch polymer composites, while Chapter 8 focuses on the spectroscopic analysis of rice husk and wheat gluten husk-based polymer composites using computational chemistry. Chapter 9 summarizes the processing, characterization and properties of oil palm fiber-reinforced polymer composites. In this chapter, the use of oil palm as reinforcement in different polymer matrices such as natural rubber, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, phenol formaldehyde, polystyrene, epoxy and LLDPE is discussed. Chapter 10 also focuses on... 

Here n is the number phenolic units in the chain. The methylene bridges are characterised by C-NMR spectroscopic analysis. The characteristics peaks for o, o, o, p and p, p methylene carbons are 30,35 and 40 ppm. The free phenol is characterised from peaks at 115 ppm and 120 ppm. The free phenol content of a resin sample is determined by dissolving the sample in acetone and gas chromatographic analysis of the solution using m-cresol as an internal standard. The -OH and -CO functional groups are characterised by Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy (FT-IR) from their characteristic peaks at 3350-3500 cm and 1730 cm", respectively [7].
