Used as crosslinking agents in silicone-based materials to improve thermal stability and mechanical strength. Enhances performance in coatings, sealants, and encapsulants by forming robust 3D networks upon curing. Commonly applied in electronics for protective layers due to good dielectric properties and moisture resistance. Serves as a nanoscale building block in hybrid organic-inorganic materials for optical and high-performance composites. Hydrogen termination allows for easy functionalization with other groups via hydrosilylation, enabling tailored surface properties and compatibility with various matrices.
