1. A method of preparing a modified novolak phenolic resin, comprising the steps of mixing (A) a novolak phenolic resin obtained from condensation of a phenol containing at least 50% by weight of p-cresol and an aldehyde, or (B) a mixture of (b-1) at least 50% by weight of a p-cresol novolak resin obtained from condensation of p-cresol and an aldehyde and (b-2) the balance of another novolak phenolic resin obtained from condensation of a phenol other than p-cresol and an aldehyde with a crosslinker, simultaneously or subsequently adding an acidic catalyst selected from the group consisting of oxalic acid, acetic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, xylenesulfonic acid, p-phenolsulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, and ethanesulfonic acid thereto, and effecting reaction at a temperature of 10 to 80° C. |
