Used as a monomer in the production of specialty polymers and resins, particularly in the development of high-performance materials with unique mechanical and thermal properties, owing to its norbornene structure. It is also employed in the synthesis of crosslinked polymers for applications in coatings, adhesives, composites, and electronics such as insulating materials and protective coatings resistant to harsh environments. Additionally, it serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, contributing to the creation of complex chemical structures in pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Its versatility makes it valuable in research and industrial applications where tailored polymer properties are required.
