Preparation and Properties of Straw Phenol Liquefied Resin

Phenol is used as a medium for liquefaction of straw. The cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in straw has been turned into a liquid substance with certain biological activity, which is a new type of adhesive. TG-DSC analysis shows that its curing temperature is 116℃, which is much lower than that of common phenolic resin. Infrared spectroscopy analysis shows the resin which was made from straw has very similar IR peaks to those of phenolic resin.
