Used in dental resins and restorative materials due to its high rigidity and mechanical strength. The adamantane structure enhances durability and resistance to degradation, making it ideal for long-lasting dental composites. Also employed in photoresist materials for advanced lithography in semiconductor manufacturing, providing thermal stability, etch resistance, and enhanced photosensitivity for precise nanoscale patterning in electronics and integrated circuits. Additionally used in specialty coatings and high-performance polymers where thermal stability and toughness are required. Its hydroxyl and methacrylate groups allow for crosslinking in UV-curable systems, useful in electronics encapsulation, precision adhesives, and chemically/scratch-resistant resins.
