Used as a high-performance monomer in the synthesis of polycarbonates and epoxy resins, providing enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength. Its rigid adamantane core improves the glass transition temperature and resistance to chemical degradation, making it suitable for advanced engineering plastics and composite materials. Also applied in the development of optical materials due to its transparency and refractive properties. Shows potential in pharmaceutical research as a scaffold for drug design owing to its three-dimensional structure and metabolic stability.
