Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins were synthesized with different molar ratios and solid contents, and simultaneously they were cured under conditions of different pH values. The curing behaviors of cured UF resins were examined by synchronous thermal analysis (TG-DSC). The crystallinity of cured UF resin was analyzed by X-ray diffractometry. The gel time of cured UF resin was recorded by chemical methods. The results indicate that condensation reactivity leads condensation reaction and crystallization to play various roles during the curing process of UF resin. The condensation reaction and crystallization in the curing process interact to result in different structures of cured resin. A new mechanism for UF resin curing (reaction-crystallization) is thus proposed.
