1. 🔬 Semiconductor Photoresist
Synthesis of polymer resins for 193nm immersion photoresists.
As one of the copolymerizable monomers, its alicyclic structure enhances the photoresist’s etch resistance, transparency, and pattern resolution, making it a critical material in high-end chip manufacturing.

2. 🎨 High-Performance Coatings & Adhesives
As a functional monomer, it is used to prepare water-based acrylic emulsions for producing premium exterior wall coatings, wood finishes, industrial coatings, etc.
Its unique cyclic structure significantly enhances coating film hardness, toughness, weather resistance, chemical resistance, and transparency.

3. 🔄 Functional Polymer Synthesis
Used to synthesize polymers with unique structures (e.g., star polymers) or functional groups, serving as crosslinking agents or functional monomers.
In research, it explores polymerization reaction kinetics or introduces crosslinking networks via subsequent methods like “click chemistry,” substantially enhancing material thermal stability and mechanical properties.

4. 🛒 Product Availability
Supplied commercially as specialty chemical reagents.
Available from major chemical suppliers like Aladdin and TCI, typically sold in gram-scale packages with >98% purity. Priced at a premium and requires storage at 2–8°C.
