Used as a monomer in the synthesis of high-performance polymers, particularly in the production of liquid crystalline polyesters and polyurethanes. Its rigid aromatic core and flexible aliphatic chains contribute to improved thermal stability and mechanical properties in the resulting materials. Commonly applied in specialty coatings, engineering plastics, and electronic materials where heat resistance and dimensional stability are critical. Also serves as a building block in developing advanced optical and dielectric materials due to its symmetrical structure and ability to promote molecular ordering.
