报告人简介：

Julian Zhu is a professor of chemistry at Université de Montréal. He held a Canada Research Chair in polymeric biomaterials and now holds a Université de Montréal Chair. His team works on the research and development of new polymers for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. He is a co-author of over 270 scientific publications and several patents. He also received the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Award from the Chemical Institute of Canada.

Abstract: Polymeric materials made from natural compounds can improve the biocompatibility of biomaterials. Natural compounds such as bile acids can be used in the design and preparation of a variety of new polymers after chemical modifications. These materials range from self-healing hydrogels, degradable elastomers with shape-memory properties to hard dental restauration composites. They have shown promising potential for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
