Abstract

Phenol formaldehyde resin was mixed with epoxy resin in different weight fraction (10–40) wt.% to form hybrid blends which are used as a new part in engine oil tank of the cars. The mechanical properties of the new blend were studied and included: impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength and bending resistance. Results showed improved mechanical properties of epoxy resin after adding phenol formaldehyde.
