Used as a surface modifier in materials science, particularly to functionalize silica or glass surfaces for improved hydrophobicity and adhesion properties. Its organosilane structure allows it to form stable bonds with inorganic substrates while presenting an organic chain that can participate in further reactions or influence surface energy. Commonly applied in coatings, sealants, and composite materials where moisture resistance and interfacial compatibility are critical. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty films and sensors due to its ability to tailor surface characteristics.
