Used as a monomer in the synthesis of high-performance polymers, particularly polycarbonates and epoxy resins, due to its ability to impart thermal stability and mechanical strength. Its bulky aromatic structure enhances the glass transition temperature and improves resistance to heat and oxidation. Also explored in the development of bisphenol-free alternatives for coatings, adhesives, and engineering plastics where reduced endocrine-disrupting potential is desired. Shows potential in specialty applications requiring durability and chemical resistance.
