Abstract
Phenols‐furfural resin (analogous to novolake type phenol‐formaldehyde) was obtained from condensation reaction between cotton straw powder and phenolic product in presence of an inorganic acid. The optimum conditions for resin formation were confermed by infrared spectra and its characteristics were determined.
