Used as a bio-based monomer in the synthesis of renewable polymers, particularly in the production of furan-based polyesters and polycarbonates. Its rigid structure enhances thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting materials, making it suitable for sustainable packaging, coatings, and engineering plastics. Also investigated as a potential replacement for bisphenol A in polymer applications due to its similar bridged structure and improved environmental profile. Shows promise in developing biodegradable and recyclable plastics with reduced carbon footprint.
