| Abstract: | A series of redox polymers was prepared by the addition of different redox groups to preformed, chloromethylated macroreticular styrene–divinylbenzene copolymers. These polymers contained the hydroquinone, hydroquinonesulfonic acid, methylhydroquinone, 2,5-dimethylhydroquinone, 2,5-dimethylhydroquinonesulfonic acid, 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone, tert-butylhydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, benzyl mercaptan, anthraquinone, and the pyrogallol redox groups. Thus, a set of redox polymers is available having redox potentials that may range from approximately 150 to 700 mv. |
