Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the production of hydrogels and specialty resins. It enhances mechanical strength and thermal stability of polymers. Commonly applied in dental materials, contact lenses, and biomedical devices due to its ability to form durable, biocompatible networks. Also utilized in coatings, adhesives, and as a reactive diluent in UV-curable systems. Plays a role in electrophoresis gels for protein separation, improving gel rigidity and resolution.
