General Introduction

Phenols are ubiquitous in the chemical industry. Historically, phenol itself was used as a disinfectant to sterilize wounds and medical equipment, and is polymerized to produce plastics. Bakelite, a phenol–formaldehyde polymer, was the first industrial phenolic resin, and served as a key component in insulators for electrical devices, which were fundamentally important to the generation and distribution of electricity.[‌1‌,‌2‌]
