Summary

  1. 1.

    By the polyrecombination of phenol, p-crosol, hydroquinone, p-dimethoxybenzene, and hydroquinone diacetate new types of polymers were obtained, and their properties were investigated.

  2. 2.

    A probable scheme for the formation of these polymers is proposed; in the case of phenols with free hydroxy groups this takes account of the preliminary “cross” recombination of phenoxy radicals with active free radicals.

  3. 3.

    The hydroquinone polymer, whose chain consists of alternating hydroquinone and benzoquinone rings, has high thermal stability and an intense ESR signal.
