Used in the synthesis of functional polymers and resins due to its reactive vinyl group and methoxy substituent. Commonly employed in copolymerization processes to modify polymer properties such as thermal stability, solubility, and mechanical strength. Serves as a building block in the development of specialty materials for coatings, adhesives, and optical devices. Also utilized in research for creating stimuli-responsive materials and in the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers for sensing applications.
