Used as a reactive monomer in polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of functional polymers and copolymers. Its allyl groups enable crosslinking reactions, making it valuable in creating hydrogels and specialty resins with tailored mechanical and thermal properties. Employed in controlled release systems and as a building block in stimuli-responsive materials due to its ability to participate in post-polymerization modifications. Also explored in biomedical applications such as drug delivery matrices and tissue engineering scaffolds where tunable degradation and biocompatibility are required.
