Used as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of functionalized polymers and coatings, enhancing adhesion and durability. Applied in surface modification of materials to improve wettability and biocompatibility, particularly in medical devices and implants. Acts as a key component in the development of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for sensor technologies, enabling precise surface engineering. Utilized in the production of hydrogels and drug delivery systems due to its ability to form stable, biocompatible networks. Also employed in the creation of antifouling coatings for marine and industrial applications, reducing biofilm formation and surface contamination.
