hi , G10 isn't a phenolic composite but a glass epoxy composite.Not to speak for Chris, but phenolic is just a class of plastics based on using a resin with filler. So, yes melamine phenolic is a type of phenolic, as is g10, and a whole slew of other materials.
phenolic is a resin, a derivative of phenol formaldehyde . So it's not a composite by itself, it's used as matrix in composites called 'phenolic composites' like paper phenolic, linen phenolic, wood phenolic...
G10 , G11, FR4 are composites made with glass and epoxy resin as matrix.
