  Influence of the Modification of Resol Phenolics on the Properties of Glass and Cotton Fiber Laminates

  By Parameswaran P. Subramanian, Vaisakh S.S., Chithra Sekhar V, Manoj N

  Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite based on resol phenolics awaits special attention due to excellent inherent properties of the resol phenolics. In this study, modified resol phenolics by unsaturated polyester (UP) and epoxidised novolacs of simple phenol, o-cresol and p-cresol were used to fabricate glass and cotton FRPs. An overall enhancement of 25% in tensile strength and 40% in impact strength is achieved upon modification for both the modified laminates. …
