After applying resole resin on a paper as a coating, we faced with formalin odor about a week after using. what should we do?

we guess, we had uncompleted reaction between formalin and phenol or some changes are needed in process. and also we need to have final resin with 50% solid content and 200 cp in viscosity.

Titus Sobisch

the answer depends on sonication intensity and the degree of change in aspect ratio you consider as 'lose their L/D'. It will also depend on the MWCNT in question.

The change in aspect ratio after 20 min sonication will be usually very small.

Soheyla Karimi

Tnx for your both answers

Rabih Mezher

It depends on the frequency of the sonication and on the concentration of your MWCNT; if you have a high concentration with respect to the aspect ratio, you'll probably have formation of aggregates and the interaction between the CNTs will be high and maybe they won't break as fast as if you had a lower concentration.
