Used in the synthesis of high-performance polymers and resins, particularly in the production of polyamides and polyesters that exhibit enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength. It serves as a monomer in specialty plastics for automotive, aerospace, and electronic components due to its ability to improve heat resistance and dimensional stability. Also employed in the development of water-soluble polymers and as a building block in coatings and adhesives where improved chemical and moisture resistance are required. Its unique molecular structure contributes to reduced crystallinity in polymers, aiding in processability without sacrificing performance. Additionally, it finds use in the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalysis and gas storage applications.
