The aim of the present study was to examine the characteristics and physical properties of a low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde resin (LmwPF, mw approximately 600) and modified nanoclay admixture. LmwPF resins (45% w/v) were combined separately with 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% w/w montmorillonite nano...
