Used in polymer chemistry to enhance thermal and mechanical properties of resins. Its rigid adamantane structure improves heat resistance and stability in high-performance coatings and optical materials. Commonly applied in photoresists and semiconductor manufacturing due to its transparency at deep UV wavelengths and excellent etch resistance. Also utilized in dental materials and adhesives where durability and chemical resistance are required. The methacrylate group allows for easy radical polymerization, making it suitable for copolymerization with other acrylic monomers to tailor material properties.
