Product Description:

4,4-Dihydroxybiphenyl is a biphenyl derivative featuring two hydroxyl groups at the 4 and 4' positions. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 186.21 g/mol. This compound serves as a key monomer in the production of high-performance polymers, particularly liquid crystalline polyesters (LCPs) and polyarylates, where it imparts thermal stability and rigidity to the polymer backbone. Additionally, it is utilized as a building block for epoxy resins and as a surface functionalization agent in the synthesis of advanced materials. Its phenolic structure also enables applications in the preparation of antioxidants and as an intermediate in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, though its primary industrial relevance lies in polymer and material science.
