description

Abstract A previously described, a pyrolysis device with a movable reaction zone was used in the present work for thermal degradation of novolac resins. The products of thermal reactions were analysed by pyrolysis–GC. Owing to the heating of reaction zone to the maximal temperature of the chromatographic column, the high boiling pyrolysis products could be analysed. Bisphenols and trisphenols with aromatic rings coupled by methylene bridges and its methyl derivatives have been found among the compounds. The structure of the heavy pyrolysis products has been confirmed using GC–MS.
