Polyesters aromatic phenolic monomers

This his-phenol could he an interesting monomer for the synthesis of fully or partly aromatic polyesters and polyethers. 

The primary chemical classes from which adhesives are made include epoxies, acrylics, phenolics, urethanes, natural and synthetic elastomers, amino resins, silicones, polyesters, polyamides, aromatic polyheterocyclics, and the various natural products such as carbohydrates and their derivatives as well as plant- and animal-based proteins. Chemical class was once a relatively clean differentiator of adhesives, but so many adhesives now are hybrids, designed to take advantage of specific attributes of more than one chemical class or type of material. Hybridization can be accomplished by incorporating into an adhesive a nonreactive resin of a different chemical class adding another type of reactive monomer, oligomer,... 

The production of many organic compounds requires the use of a variety of industrial processes and feedstock chemicals (Wise and Fahrenthold, 1981). This results in wastewater that contains a range of aromatics including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, chlorinated benzenes, and nitrobenzenes. It is also known that the production of most resins (acrylic, epoxy, alkyl, polypropylene, and phenolic polyester) requires the use of monomers, which again leads to discharge of benzene, toluene, and ethyl benzene. The same may be said about the production of polycarbonates, polyester, and styrene.
