  • Method of stabilizing resorcinol resins and gel compositions made therefrom
    Patent number: 8742033
    Abstract: A method of stabilizing a resorcinol-aldehyde resin comprises heating a resorcinol-aldehyde resin in the substantial absence of an acid or base catalyst at a temperature from about 130° C. to about 180° C. for a sufficient amount of time to render the resin stable in an aqueous solution, wherein the resorcinol-aldehyde resin prior to heating is a novolak resin. The stabilized resins have many useful applications. For example, they can be used to make aerogels and xerogels. They also can be used to make dipping solutions to improve the adhesion between rubber and tire cords in a tire, belt, or hose.

  • Modified Alkylresorcinol Resins and Applications Thereof
    Publication number: 20080090967
    Abstract: A modified alkylresorcinol resin is prepared by reacting one or more alkylresorcinols with one or more aldehydes and optionally an olefinically unsaturated compound. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst. The resulted modified alkylresorcinol resin can be used as a methylene acceptor that reacts with methylene donors in vulcanizable rubber compositions.
