  • Applications

    3-Phenylprop-2-enenitrile (CAS 4360-47-8) is primarily used as a monomer or comonomer to prepare aryl-substituted polymers and specialty plastics; it serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis for dyes, pigments, and functional materials; it is used in coatings and inks, particularly UV-curable formulations, to impart polarity and rigidity; it is evaluated for use in high-temperature polymers and liquid crystal polymers for electronics and optoelectronic applications; and it is used in adhesives where the nitrile/aryl functionality promotes adhesion and crosslinking.
