In the foreseeable future, the development of petroleum-based polymeric materials may be limited, owing to the gradual consumption of disposable resources and the increasing emphasis on environmental protection policies. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on introducing environmentally friendly renewable biobased materials as a substitute for petroleum-based feed stocks in the preparation of different types of industrially important polymers. Plant polyphenols, a kind of natural aromatic biomolecule, exist widely in some plant species. Benefiting from their special macromolecular structure, high reactivity, and broad abundance, plant polyphenols are potent candidates to replace the dwindling aromatic monomers derived from petroleum-based resources in synthesizing high-quality polymeric materials. In this review, the most related and innovative methods for elaborating novel polymeric materials from plant polyphenols are addressed. After a brief historical overview, the classification, structural characteristics, and reactivity of plant polyphenols are summarized in detail. In addition, some interesting and innovative works concerning the chemical modifications and polymerization techniques of plant polyphenols are also discussed. Importantly, the main chemical pathways to create plant polyphenol-based organic/organic-inorganic polymeric materials as well as their properties and possible applications are systematically described. We believe that this review could offer helpful references for designing multifunctional polyphenolic materials.
在可预见的未来，由于一次性资源的逐渐消耗以及对环境保护政策的日益重视，石油基聚合物材料的发展可能会受到限制。因此，有必要专注于引入环境友好型可再生生物基材料，以替代石油基原料来制备各类具有重要工业价值的聚合物。植物多酚是一种天然芳香族生物分子，广泛存在于某些植物物种中。得益于其特殊的大分子结构、高反应活性和广泛的丰富度，植物多酚是合成高质量聚合物材料时替代日益减少的石油基资源衍生芳香族单体的有力候选者。在这篇综述中，阐述了从植物多酚制备新型聚合物材料的最相关和创新性方法。在简要回顾历史之后，详细总结了植物多酚的分类、结构特征和反应活性。此外，还讨论了一些关于植物多酚化学修饰和聚合技术的有趣且创新的研究工作。重要的是，系统地描述了制备基于植物多酚的有机/有机-无机聚合物材料的主要化学途径及其性能和可能的应用。我们相信这篇综述可为设计多功能多酚材料提供有益的参考。
