RAFT polymerization: The thiocarbonyl and sulfanyl groups in this compound enable it to act as chain transfer agents in RAFT (reversible addition-break chain transfer) polymerization reaction;
Lubricating properties: Compounds containing thiocarbonyl groups can significantly improve lubricating properties in lubricating oils, and reduce friction and wear and improve the performance of mechanical equipment by forming a chemical adsorption film on the friction surface;
Self-healing: Because the disulfide bond in this compound can break and reform when subjected to external forces or damage, it is used for the preparation of self-healing materials.
