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 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. P lease join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n DTSTART:20180405T173000Z DTEND:20180405T173000Z LOCATION:MS2-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Synthesis and characterization of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural derivative based materials URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-synthes is-and-characterization-5-hydroxymethylfurfural-derivative-based-materials -285830 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
