The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PHOH) with CH2 = 0, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different. CH3 OH + CH2=0 p-cresol
