Abstract
In this work, three types of complexed phenolic resins were prepared using various additives such as (AlCl3, FeCl3, ZnCl2) and improving the aim of this work by modifying the phenol formaldehyde resins to high thermal resistance polymers and higher mechanical properties. This was attributed to chemical bonding between metal ions and polymeric phenol formaldehyde resins, the increasing in crosslinking which effects on thermal and mechanical properties of phenolic complexes as a function of temperature up to 1000 °C, the complexes could be used as insulators. The complexes were characterized and tested by infra-red spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and mechanical properties for the phenolic resin complexes were measured the tensile strength, flexural strength, they were found that the higher thermal resistance and higher mechanical properties, therefore it was concluded that the phenolic complexes could be possibly used as insulation material and for other applications.
