Some cinetic regularities of reaction of interaction of norbornane type bisphenol and formaldehyde were studied. It was proved that the reaction proceeded according to the second order. IR-spectroscopy was used to study the process of thermal hardening of novolac at isothermal terms on the air. KEYWORDS norbornane, oligomer, bisphenol, formaldehyde, hardening, isothermal.

Most significant representatives of thermostable polymers are the phenol- formaldehyde tipe polymers [1-4]. Recently, to increase some indices norbornane tipe bisphenols were used for the synthesis of phenol formaldehyde type polymers. It enabled us to decrease of cross-linking of macromolecules, which makes significant effect on physical-mechanical and other indices of polymers [3-5]. Thanks to the very interesting set of properties of other type polymers containing cycloparaffin card type groupings [6,7] we considered interesting and expedient to lead investigations in the sphere of phenol formaldehyde polymers with other bisphenols. Experimental part. Initial component of the synthesis was norbornane tipe bisphenol (as the phenol component) and alcoholic solution of formaldehyde. Interaction of norbornane tipe bisphenol with formaldehyde was investigated in n- propyl alcohol, at 125-145 o C temperature interval, in the presence of ammonia as the catalyst, at bisphenol to formaldehyde molar ratio 1:4. Schematically the reaction can be presented as follows: CHEMISTRY
