Monomers, polymers and copolymers are provided that incorporate at least one naturally occurring phenolic compound, such as a plant phenol, as well as methods for producing the monomers and polymers. Plant phenols possessing a reactive group in addition to the phenolic group, such as a double bond, aldehyde, ester, alcohol or carboxylic acid, are particularly useful. Plant phenols can be isolated from a plant material, or chemically or enzymatically synthesized.
提供了包含至少一种天然
酚类化合物(如植物
酚)的单体、聚合物和共聚物,以及制备这些单体和聚合物的方法。除
酚基外,具有反应性基团(如双键、醛基、酯基、醇基或羧基)的植物
酚尤其有用。植物
酚可以从植物材料中分离出来,也可以通过
化学或酶促合成。
