This chemical is primarily used as a reactive monomer in the formulation of dental materials, particularly in the production of dental adhesives and restorative composites. It enhances adhesion to tooth structures by forming strong bonds with hydroxyapatite, the main mineral component of teeth. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of coatings and resins for industrial applications, where its phosphate groups improve surface adhesion and durability. In the field of biomaterials, it is incorporated into hydrogels and scaffolds for tissue engineering, promoting cell attachment and growth. Its ability to polymerize under UV light also makes it suitable for use in photopolymerizable inks and 3D printing materials.
