DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Daihui Zhang\, Department of Bioresource En
 gineering\n\nThe production of polymers from petroleum-based chemicals has
  caused serious sustainability concerns\, therefore stimulating the develo
 pment of bio-based polymers. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising 
 platform chemical that has been widely utilized in various fields\, such a
 s biofuels precursors\, fine chemicals synthesis\, and monomers to polymer
 s. The synthesis of HMF derivative based polymers offers a wide range of p
 ossibilities. Therefore\, the main objective of this research was to synth
 esize and characterize HMF derivative based linear polymers or networks wi
 th tunable structures and properties using the thiol-Michael addition reac
 tion. Furthermore\, the potential applications were explored as well.\n\nE
 veryone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. P
 lease join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
