Phenol-formaldehyde resins (PhFR) with reactive methacrylate fragments or labile peroxy bonds in the side branches used as a polymeric component of bitumen-polymeric mixtures have been investigated. Taking into account that PhFR with peroxy fragments based on epoxy resin does not described in literature, its synthesis procedure has been developed. The kinetic regularities of the reaction between peroxy derivative of epoxy resin (PDER) and phenol group of PhFR were studied taking the reaction of PDER with phenol as an example. The structure of PhFR with peroxy groups (PhFRP) has been confirmed by IR-studies. Bitumenpolymeric mixtures with PhFRP or PhFR with unsaturated fragments (PhFRU) in the amount of 1, 3, 5 or 7 mass parts per 100 g of petroleum bitumen were examined at 443, 463 or 483 K for 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 h. The composition of bitumn-polymeric mixtures has been determined using the group analysis.

The reaction between novolac phenolformaldehyde resin and glycidylmethacrylate has been studied in the presence of potassium hydroxide and the synthesis procedure of phenol-formaldehyde resin with unsaturated side bonds has been suggested. The effective rates and activation energy of the mentioned reaction have been calculated. The structure of synthesized resin was confirmed by IR-spectroscopy. The synthesized resin may be used as active component of polymeric blends based on ED-20 industrial epoxy resin, its peroxy derivative (PO) and TGM-3 oligoesteracrylate. The process was controlled by gel-fraction content and polymeric films hardness. Physico-mechanical and protective properties of the synthesized epoxy-oligoesteric mixtures have been studied.

A new oligomer with unsaturated double bonds in the side chains has been synthesized via chemical modification of polyglycidyl phenol-formaldehyde oligomer (PGPFO) by methacrylic acid (MA) using benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a catalyst. The effect of temperature and reaction time on the reaction proceeded between PGPFO and MA has been studied. The effective rate constants and activation energy of the reaction have been calculated. The structure of the synthesized oligomer has been confirmed by chemical and IR-spectroscopic analyses. The cross-linking of epoxyoligomeric mixtures based on ED-20 epoxy resin, peroxy derivative of epoxy resin, TGM-3 oligoesteracrylate and synthesized oligomer has been examined using polyethylenepolyamine as a hardener.
