Used as a crosslinking agent in textile and paper industries to improve wet strength and durability of fibers. Enhances dye fixation in reactive dye formulations, particularly for cellulose-based fabrics, by forming covalent bonds with hydroxyl groups. Also applied in polymer chemistry to introduce vinyl sulfone functionalities into macromolecules for functional coatings and hydrogels. In pharmaceutical research, it acts as a starting material for synthesizing biologically active compounds and as a crosslinker in polymer structures for controlled drug release systems. It forms covalent bonds with proteins and biopolymers, increasing the stability of active agents and reducing degradation before reaching the target site. Additionally, utilized in biomaterials like hydrogels for tissue repair or neurotransmitter delivery in neural systems. Its bifunctional structure enables stable network formation under mild conditions, suitable for both industrial and biomedical processes requiring efficient reactivity and performance.
