Professor John Texter has over 25 years experience in industrial
small particle and coating technologies. He currently is Professor
of Polymer and Coating Technology at Eastern Michigan University. He is
Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology, and
has worked for Strider Research Corporation and 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-two 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,
