Curing reaction kinetics of paper-based phenolic resin laminates-from laboratory measurements to inline quality control.

ABSTRACT: We describe a comprehensive analysis of the drying and curing kinetics of resol phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin utilizing multiple different thermophysical and optical measurement techniques and combinations thereof to gain a comprehensive understanding of the physicochemical processes that take place during large-scale production of paper-based PF laminates. This included thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared evolved gas analysis (FTIR-EGA), and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. In particular, the tailored integration of TGA with simultaneous near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in reflection geometry facilitated the evaluation of NIR spectroscopy's suitability for monitoring the ongoing process. This led to the implementation of
