Compare the processing differences of resole and novolac resin. What is meant by one-stage and two-stage resins?

What will be an ideal response?


Resole and novolac resins are both types of phenolics. The resole resins are linear polymers that are cured simply by heating, while the novolacs must have a hardener added to them and then heated to cure. The resoles are, therefore, one-stage polymers, meaning that only one step is needed to complete the crosslinking, whereas the novolacs are two-stage polymers.
