“…The most promising lignin-based polyester monomers are phenolic acids: vanillic, syringic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, floretic (3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic), 4-hydroxycinnamic, ferulic (3-methoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic), dihydroferulic, etc. [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. 4-Hydroxybenzoic and vanillic acids are aromatic self-condensable AB-type monomers.…”
