Abstract
Phenol-formaldehyde polymers are polymers formed by the interaction of a phenol, or a mixture of phenols, and formaldehyde. Commercial materials are most commonly based on phenol itself; other phenols such as cresols, xylenols and resorcinol are used to a limited extent. It may be noted that several aldehydes other than formaldehyde have been used to prepare phenolic polymers but none has attained appreciable commercial significance.
