    This certificate confirms that Ajay Chauhan of class XII A, Roll Number 11, successfully completed his investigatory chemistry project on phenol-formaldehyde resins at the Kendriya Vidyalaya Manera Uttarkashi chemistry laboratory during the 2021-2022 school year. The project involved the formation, structure, and polymerization reactions of phenol-formaldehyde resins, including the initial reaction of phenol with formaldehyde to form hydroxymethyl phenol and subsequent reactions to form methylene and ether bridges, linking multiple phenol units together into oligomers.

    PREFACE

    ~ Formation and structure.

    ~ Phenol-formaldehyde resins , as a group , are


    formed by a step growth polymerization that can
    be either anid or base catalyzed.

    ~ Phenol is reactive towardsformaldehyde


    attheorthoandparasites (sites 2, 4and 6) allowing
    up to 3 units of formaldehyde to attach to the
    ring.The initial reaction is formation of
    ahydroxymethyl phenol:

    ~HOC₆H₅ + CH₂O → HOC₆H₄CH₂OH

    5
    ~ The hydroxymethyl group is capable of
    reacting with either another free ortho or
    para site, or with another hydroxymethyl
    group. The first reaction gives a methylene
    bridge,and the second forms an
    etherbridge:
    HoC₆H₄CH₂OH
    +HOC₆H₅→(HOC₆H₄)₂CH₂+H₂O

    • The diphenol (HOC₆H₄)₂ is called


    bisphenol F. Bisphenol-F canfurther link
    generating tri- and tetra-and higher
    phenol oligomers.

    ~ 2HOC₆H₄OH→ (HOC₆H₄CH₂)₂O +
    H₂O
