Characterization of resins prepared by polycondensation of Egyption bagasse pith and bisphenol A. Part II. Elemental analysis and thin layer chromatography

Different resins were prepared by polycondensation of bisphenol A with compounds which may be produced during the acid hydrolysis of bagasse pith, e.g., glucose, xylose, and furfural. Further bisphenol A was condensed with constituents of bagasse pith, namely, pure soda lignin, holocellulose and resistant cellulose. The optimum conditions for thin layer chromatographic separation of these polycondensates were determined.
