Key Applications of BAPB
High-Performance Polymers: Serves as a monomer for polyimides, poly(ether ether ketone amide)s (PEEKAs), and copolymers, offering high glass transition temperatures (190–220°C) and thermal decomposition above 500°C, ideal for aerospace composites, structural materials, and heat-resistant resins.
Electronics and Electrical Insulation: Incorporated into polyimides for flexible copper clad laminates (FCCL), semiconductor sheets, and low-dielectric insulators (Dk ~2.9, Df ~0.0044), used in microelectronics, 5G devices, and data centers.
Aerospace and Automotive: Utilized in high heat-resistant plastics and adhesives with excellent toughness and dielectric properties, suitable for aircraft parts, automotive components, and environments requiring durability under thermal stress.
Coatings and Adhesives: Acts as a curing agent in epoxy resins and polyurethane coatings, providing improved flexibility, toughness, and high lap-shear strengths (>6000 psi), for protective surfaces and structural bonding.
Advanced Materials: Employed in composite materials with nanofillers for enhanced mechanical properties, and explored for gas separation membranes, piezoelectric sensors, and potential biomedical uses like drug delivery due to biocompatibility
