Adhesives, Polymer Nanocomposites, Plastics, Biomaterials
Expert wrote his Ph.D. research in the area of thermosetting composite and rubbery materials. After graduation he began work with National Starch and Chemical Company in specialty pressure-sensitive adhesives and moved then to Integra Life Sciences in collagen-based regenerative biomaterials.…
Rheology, Nanotechnology, Particulate/Multiphase Processes, Chemical Engineering.
Expert operates his contract research & development small business incorporated in 1990 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA. Expert's professional experience spanning over four decades in chemical engineering has focused around the broad areas of particulate/multiphase processes and rheology. Chemical engineering…
Surfactant Formulations, Microemulsions, Colloidal Dispersion, Improved Oil Recovery, etc.
Expert has applied his understanding of adsorption theory and phenomenon for contaminant fate and transport, for environmental cleanup and technologies development. He is also familiar with the interactions of surfactant and solid media, and adsorption of organic contaminants and other…
Digital Printing, Inks, Flexible Packaging, Coatings Materials & Processes, UV Cure, Printed Electronics
Some clients call expert "our reserve technical director", referencing his ability to succeed with any activity a manufacturing technical director may be assigned. Such activities range from issues a vendor may have with its suppliers through to those of an…
Explosives Instrument Detection, Trace Explosives Chemical Analysis, Optical Spectroscopy, Polymers
Expert has spent over 15 years working in the field of analytical chemistry of various labile organic compounds and macromolecules. He worked on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of highly involatile species that required special sample preparation and processing. These…
Chemical Engineering, Process Plant Design, Biofuels, Economic Feasibility
Interests in adsorption go back to his PhD when he studied adsorption of proteins to polymers. He did an extensive surface chemistry course at the time and did a lot of work on zeta potential of particles. Since then he…
Fine Particle Processing, Dispersion Engineering, Acoustic Separation Methods
Expert has developed several methods that use acoustic fields to trap, agglomerate, and collect suspended solids or droplets from stationary or moving liquids. These separation methods are fast, continuous, controllable, and energy efficient. Expert has done extensive research in the…
Rheological Measurement
Expert has expertise in applied research and product development combining the fields of rheology and colloidal chemistry. He is experienced with the formulation and rheological classification of dyes and pigments. He has investigated the rheological properties of magnetic and carbon…
Synthesis and Characterization of Ceramic Powders and Single Crystals
Expert has used microencapsulation as a method to prepare multicomponent ceramic powders containing two to five components. He developed (and is in the process of patenting) the first dry microencapsulation process that also can be used as a granulation method.…
Rheological Process Modeling
EMULSION POLYMERIZATION. Most of the research in Expert's (pronounced pay-line) career has been aimed at developing a more complete understanding of the mechanics and kinetics of emulsion polymerization reactions. He has studied batch, semi-batch, and continuous reactor systems. FREE RADICAL…
