Used primarily in the synthesis of advanced polymer materials, this compound acts as a reactive mesogen in liquid crystalline polymer systems. Its acrylate functionality enables free-radical polymerization, making it suitable for use in UV-curable coatings, optical films, and alignment layers in display technologies. The presence of both rigid aromatic segments and flexible spacers allows for the formation of stable mesophases, which are beneficial in creating anisotropic materials for electro-optical devices. It is also employed in the development of crosslinked networks with controlled morphology, useful in photonics and smart materials.
