in making [[underlined in red]] C20 [[/underlined in red]] as soon as terpin hydrate addition surpassed certain limits [[underlined in red]] Novolak [[/underlined in red]] which electrizes on function and has an excellent electric properties loses these properties if hexatriphenol is added in [[strikethrough]] small [[/strikethrough]] quantities 20 - 30 - 40 et. [[strikethrough]] pof [[/strikethrough]] hexatriphenol for 100 gr. of Novolak. in this respect it is similar to [[underlined in red]] hexa [[/underlined in red]] which also lowers the [[underlined in red]] dielective [[margin, red pencil]] ! [[/margin, red pencil]] properties. But [[underlined in red]] hexa does not dissolve well in Novolak nor in most solvents and remains suspended while hexatriphenol dissolves and mixes readily and gives perfectly [[/underlined in red]] clear and homogeneous sticks. This lowering of dielectric properties if [[underlined in red]] hexa [[/underlined in red]] is added to Novolak shows clearly that

the "dry" theory of Aylsworth is not correct. Why should dry hexa and dry Novolak store Cou[[?]] dielectrics. [[strikethrough]] and why should hexatriphenol [[/strikethrough]] [[margin, red pencil]] ! [[/margin, red pencil]] I used to think this was due to the setting free of [[underlined in red]] NH3 [[/underlined in red]] which attracted moisture or which acted upon the wood fibre filler setting water free. The [[underlined in red]] "ammonia" theory does not [[/underlined in red]] hold because hexatriphenol [[double underlined in red]] if [[/doubled underlined in red]] heated [[underlined in red]] by itself, [[/underlined in red]] which sets free large amounts of NH3 gives a product which electrizes easily on friction. Same thing happened in Some of [[underlined in red]] Shannon's [[/underlined in red]] experiments where he used large amounts of hexatriphenol [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] with relatively small amounts 100:30 of Novolak. Told him to try [[underlined in red]] intermediate [[/underlined in red]] proportions with and without
