The speaker:

Charlie Taylor is currently a Senior Technical Service representative for DuPont. He received a BS in Chemistry from SUNY@Albany, and PhD from Penn State. Since that time, he's held a number of positions for the DuPont Company; some in technical, some in management, and some in human resources. In the technical realm, work includes the study of tertiary oil recovery, hydrogen peroxide manufacture, and surface modification with organofluorine compounds.

The talk:

A wealth of information exists for solutions of fluorinated surfactants at equilibrium in deionized water. No one uses them that way. Fluorinated surfactants are used in tandem with hydrocarbon surfactants, under dynamic conditions, in the presence of resin systems, dispersed solids, and across a wide pH range. The talk will discuss surface modification strategies with organofluorine compounds. The focus will be on mixed surfactant systems. Understanding the aggregation and adsorption behavior of different surfactant types can help in the formulation
of materials that are more effective. Getting the most per ingredient dollar, and tailoring formulations to the surfaces that they will be used on are downstream benefits.
