I will discuss our recent progress on a number of polymers that are responsive to stimuli such as light, heat, ultrasound and carbon dioxide, emphasizing the aspect of polymer design. The lecture will feature, in particular, 1) our continuing effort on near-infrared light-sensitive polymer micelles and hydrogels, 2) ultrasound- and light-controllable shape-memory and healable polymers, and 3) CO2-driven polymer assemblies deformation mimicking organelles.

Yue Zhao received his BSc in 1982 from Chengdu University of Science and Technology (now Sichuan University). He went to France in 1983 for graduate studies at the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de Paris (ESPCI). After obtaining his PhD in 1987, he went to Canada for postdoctoral studies at the Université Laval. In 1991, he joined the Chemistry Department of the Université de Sherbrooke and has been a full professor since 2000. He was a chair professor of Chang Jiang Scholar at Sichuan University (2007-2010). Zhao’s main research interests are the design, synthesis, study and exploitation for applications of self-assembled, nanostructured and stimuli-responsive polymers and liquid crystalline materials. He has published over 175 papers in primary journals and edited a book on azobenzene-containing polymers and liquid crystals. Zhao won the inaugural Public Prize for the Discovery of the Year 2005 in Quebec, and the 2013 Macromolecular Science and Engineering Award of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC). He was elected CIC Fellow in 2014.
