• agents [23][24][25] or (b) indirect by polymer analogous modification of existing end-groups. For the post-modification highly efficient reactions are needed to ensure a high degree of functionalization. For this reason, often “click reactions” [26] such as esterifications [27], azide–alkyne [22], thiol

• complexes; polymer-analogous modification; Introduction Polyphenols in general play an important role in nature, e.g., lignin and suberin. In industry, Bakelite represents the first practically successful polyphenol resin [1]. In the latter case, the phenol moieties are covalently connected by formaldehyde
