Abstract: The structural characteristic of products obtained from the pyrolysis of para-cresol-formaldehyde resin in the temperature range of 500 to 1000' Cis discussed in detail on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, X-ray diffraction and ESR spectra. The results of the analyses show that all the samples appear as black powder, which are insoluble and infusible, and have a wide range of electrical conductivity, X-ray diffraction measurements show all of the peaks are broadened, indicating that these samples are amorphous. The interlayer distances (dc) almost do not vary with an increase in Tp. The crystallite sizes (Lc) are larger than phenol-formaldehyde resins. These results show that all of the samples have slightly aligned crystallites or local molecular orientations which contain four to five fragmental layers stacked on average along the c-axis of each crystallite. Electron spins with a π-nature exist in all the pyrolyzed samples. The ESRlinewidth and the spin concentration of the samples vary with TP. The spin concentration becomes maximum and the linewidth is minimum at Tp=600℃.
