Used primarily as a crosslinking agent in the production of polymers and biomaterials. It facilitates the formation of stable bonds between molecules, enhancing the mechanical strength and durability of the final product. Commonly applied in the development of hydrogels for drug delivery systems, where it helps control the release rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Also utilized in the modification of proteins and peptides to improve their stability and functionality in bioconjugation processes, particularly through reaction with amine groups. Additionally, it plays a role in the synthesis of advanced materials for tissue engineering, promoting cell adhesion and growth.
