John Texter has over 20 years experience in industrial small particle
and coating technologies. He currently is Managing Consultant for
Strider Research Corporation, an Adjunct Professor in the Chemical Engineering
Department, University of Rochester, the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal
of Dispersion Science and Technology, and has worked for Eastman Kodak
Company in various areas of dispersion and emulsion technology. He
received his undergraduate engineering education and his Ph.D. in Chemistry
from Lehigh University, where he studied at the Zettlemoyer Center for
Surface and Coatings Research. He is an experienced lecturer, organizer,
and technical project manager. He is an inventor, editor, and author
of over 130 publications including four books, forty-one patents, and numerous
research and review articles. He has received numerous awards and
honors including a Service Recognition Award from the ACS Division of Colloid
and Surface Chemistry, a Team Achievement Award for Improved Ferrotyping,
induction into the Kodak Distinguished Inventors’ Gallery, an MRE Innovation
Award for Nanocrystalline Technology, the CTO Patent Award for Innovation
and Initiative in Patenting, listings in American Men and Women of Science,
Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, and Who’s Who in the East, and various
fellowships. He is active professionally and has served as Chairman
of the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the American Chemical
Society, Chairman of the Chemistry at Interfaces Gordon Research Conference,
and organizer of several international symposia. He is a member of
the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers,
