INTRODUCTION
History is shaped by the materials we develop and use
...
Some 5,000 years ago, we learned how to make alloys of
copper, and the Bronze Age began
...
The introduction of Bakelite the world s first synthetic plastic in
1907 marked the introduction of the Polymer Age
...
"Plastic" (from the Greek "plastikos,"
meaning moldable) is the popular term for a variety of synthetic, or manmade, polymers
...
Most
polymers but not all consist of monomers that are similar to each other, joined
together in a straight chain, like a long string of pearls
...


Properties and Uses of Bakelite

∑ Bakelite can be molded very quickly, an enormous advantage in mass
production processes where many identical units were produced one after
the other
...

∑ Bakelite was also particularly suitable for the emerging electrical and
automobile industries because of its extraordinarily high resistance (not
only to electricity, but to heat and chemical action as well)
...


∑ Along with its electrical uses, molded Bakelite found a place in almost
every area of modern life

Theory
Bakelite or polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride, is an early plastic
...

Bakelite was a combination of phenol, formaldehyde, and wood flour
...
Today, Bakelite is manufactured and
produced in sheet, rod and tube form for hundreds of industrial applications in the electronics, power
generation and aerospace industries, and under a variety of commercial brand names
...


EXPERIMENT
AIM:- To prepare phenol formaldehyde resin
...


∑ Under a hood, measure 25 mL of the phenol-formaldehyde reaction mixture into a
150-mL beaker
...

∑ Add 10 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid, slowly, with stirring
...
(You will need
approximately 2 mL of HCl
...

∑ At the point where polymerization begins, the white precipitate will not dissolve
...
Wash the plastic
well before handling
...
They
possess
∑ excellent adhesive properties and are usually used as bonding glue for laminated
wooden
∑ Phenol-formaldehyde resins having high degree of polymerization are hard, rigid,
scratch resistant and infusible
...
They can withstand very high temperatures
...

∑ They are used for making decorative laminates, wall coverings etc
...

∑ They are used for impregnating fabrics wood and paper
...


PRECAUTIONS

∑ Wear safety goggles at all times in the laboratory
...

∑ Phenol is toxic via skin contact
...

∑ Glacial acetic acid is an irritant and can cause burns on contact
