Abstract

Phenolic resin (PR) exhibited excellent characteristic properties and was cost-effective compared to other resins. PRs have been widely used in architecture, automotive, aerospace, and electronic products. PR molding compounds gained more attention in automotive applications due to their lightweight and can replace metals. PR based composites and nanocomposites have been developed to improve brittleness, one of the challenges that limit the use of PR in high-tech applications. The recent research on PRs focused on using bio-based alternatives and advanced curing methods to improve sustainability and performance. Interestingly, there is no substitute for PR in heat resistance and stability. The development of smart materials, low formaldehyde emission resins, and innovations combined with nanotechnology are some of the areas of research for the future of PR technology.
