Used as a monomer in polymer synthesis, particularly in creating functionalized polymers with reactive terminal double bonds. Enables the production of specialty coatings, adhesives, and cross-linked materials due to its ability to undergo radical or metathesis polymerization. Also serves as a building block in organic synthesis for introducing long-chain diene structures into molecules, useful in surfactants, lubricants, and chemical intermediates. Its terminal vinyl groups allow for further chemical modifications, such as hydroformylation or grafting reactions.
