In the phenolic resin foam laminate board (10), a surface material (2) is arranged on at least one of one side of a phenolic resin foam (1) and the back side of the one side. The phenolic resin foam (1) has a density of not less than 22 kg/m.sup.3 and not more than 50 kg/m.sup.3, a cell diameter of not less than 50 m and not more than 170 m, and a closed cell ratio of not less than 80%. When HCFO-1224yd(Z), aliphatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 or less, chlorinated saturated hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 5 or less, and hydrofluoroolefin are gas components, the phenolic resin foam contains only HCFO-1224yd (Z) as a gas component. A cell internal pressure of air bubble is 0.20 atm or more.

The invention relates to a gelled, crosslinked and non-dried aqueous polymeric composition capable of forming a non-monolithic organic aerogel by drying, to this aerogel, to a non-monolithic porous carbon resulting from a pyrolysis of this aerogel, to an electrode based on this porous carbon, and to a process for preparing this composition and this aerogel. The invention applies in particular to supercapacitors. A gelled, crosslinked and non-dried composition according to the invention, which is based on a resin resulting at least partly from a polycondensation of polyhydroxybenzene(s) R and formaldehyde(s) F and which comprises at least one water-soluble cationic polyelectrolyte P, is such that the composition is formed from an aqueous dispersion of microparticles of a shear-thinning physical gel that is crosslinked in an aqueous medium. The composition not yet crosslinked is in particular prepared by dilution of a prepolymer that forms this gel in an aqueous solvent in order to form the aqueous dispersion of microparticles of said gel.

Highly porous, lightweight, and sustainable hybrid organic aerogels with ultra-low densities and excellent material properties and methods for preparing them are provided, including, e.g., PVA/CNF/GONS, RF/CNF/GONS, and PVA/CNF/MWCNT. The aerogels are modified to have a super-hydrophobic surface, thus leading to an extremely low swelling ratio and rate of moisture absorption.

There is disclosed a phenol resin foam which contains a phenol resin, and a foaming agent comprising at least either one of a chlorinated hydrofluoroolefin or a non-chlorinated hydrofluoroolefin. With respect to the phenol resin foam, a density is 10 kg/m.sup.3 or more and 150 kg/m.sup.3 or less, a thermal conductivity under a 10 C. environment is 0.0175 W/m.Math.k or less, and a thermal conductivity under a 23 C. environment is 0.0185 W/m.Math.k or less.

The invention relates to a composition containing a novolak and water. In one embodiment, a composition is provided comprising novolak and water with the percentage of ortho linkages of the phenol rings of the novolak is greater than that of para linkages, the novolak having a phenolic compound and an aldehyde molar ratio of from 1:0.2 to 1:0.45 and the composition having from 2% to 20% by weight of water based on the weight of the sum of the novolak and the water.

A foam product comprising an expanded foam body having cells defined therein and blowing agent held within the cells, wherein at least 5% by weight of the foam body is formed from at least one component from a renewable source.

A phenolic foam and method for manufacturing same are described herein. The foam comprises at least on chlorinated hydrofluoroolefin, at least one hydrofluoroolefin and at least one hydrocarbon. The foam has excellent thermal insulation performance and excellent fire performance.

The invention relates to a method for forming blasthole stemming for mining, which comprises charging a blasthole with a two-component mixture of resin and catalyst, wherein the two-component mixture produces a stiff foam in situ, and once hardened, the two-component mixture is then detonated. The invention also relates to a system for forming blasthole stemming for mining in order to carry out the method; the mixture used as blasthole stemming for mining that comprises the two-component mixture of resin and catalyst, wherein the resins are based on formaldehyde; and to a method for charging and detonating a mining blasthole by using the two-component mixture.

One aspect of the present specification provides an eco-friendly semi-noncombustible exterior material including: a core part (10) formed by impregnating a paper or fabric base with a triazole-modified phenolic resin; an outer skin (20) formed by impregnating a paper substrate with a melamine resin and joined to at least one surface of the core part; and a UV film (30) formed on at least one surface of the outer skin, and containing a polymethyl methacrylate resin.
