Used as a surface modifier in nanocomposites, enhancing dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrices. Improves thermal stability and mechanical strength in epoxy and silicone-based materials. Applied in coatings and encapsulants for electronics due to its ability to reduce dielectric constant and moisture absorption. Also serves as a reactive additive in hybrid materials for optical and photonic applications, where controlled cross-linking and compatibility with organic-inorganic networks are required.
