Purpose - The purpose of this paper was as follows. The in situ chemical oxidation (ICO) of vinyl aniline modified cyclohexanone formaldehyde resin (CFVAnR) in the presence of potassium persulphate salt. (K2S2O8) was accomplished in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) solutions at 35 degrees C and 70 degrees C. The chemical composition and structure of the oxidized CFVAnR were characterised by nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1-NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, DSC, TGA and SEM.
