Jordan Petkov, R&T Director Consumer CareJordan Petkov is the R&T Director Consumer Care at Lonza and is an experienced colloidal scientist with more than twenty years spent in the field. His research has been in the area of surfactants and polymers with regard to their applications in Home and Personal Care products. Surfactant dynamics has always raised his interest with its variability with regard to surfactant levels, mixtures and the presence of different additives, electrolytes, oils, polymers, etc. Polymer-surfactant interactions are at the core of many applications. Their bulk phase behavior and its connection with their interfacial activity has always attracted his attention due to the richness of the subject and the unexpected phenomena accompanying their adsorption/deposition.

Polypeptides and proteins as a whole is another field he has been working in. He has always been fascinated by the ability of surface active species (molecules or larger aggregates, including particulates) to render stability of gas-in-liquid (foams) dispersions or liquid-in-liquid (emulsions) dispersions. The short and long term stability are dependent on different factors and their elucidation is not always an easy task to take.

He is also interested in tertiary, or as it is best known, enhanced oil recovery (EOR). With the oil price gradually (inevitably) going up the technologies for maximizing the utilization of wells' oil would become sought after in near future.

During his time with Unilever, he established strong links with academia in Europe, USA and Asia. Currently, he has a Visiting Chair at Manchester University, in the Biophysical Group part of the School of Physics and Astronomy and at the China University of Petroleum in Qingdao in the Centre for Biotechnology and Bioengineering.

Jordan likes to be at the bridge between Industry and Academia, combining the ideas generated at Universities with the business aspects for making a discovery becoming a technology, which is always a challenge.

Location InformationSouth Plainfield, NJ and Surrounding AreasSouth Plainfield is one in 25 unique municipalities in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Located minutes from Port Elizabeth and half-way between New York and Philadelphia, Middlesex County is home to numerous Fortune 500 companies, three universities and world-class healthcare and research facilities and has long been a place where innovation and productivity have thrived.

It is a dynamic county of over 831,300 residents and growing, making Middlesex the second most populated county in the state. Thousands of residents from a diverse array of cultures are attracted each year to their 25 unique municipalities, a mix of small towns, urban centers and rural communities. Young – the median age is just 36.9 – their residents are highly educated and skilled.

The county is known for its award-winning schools, including Middlesex County College and the Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies, which is ranked among the best in the nation and is part of the county’s Vocational-Technical High School system, the first vocational-technical school system in the nation, started in 1914.

Middlesex is home to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and the Plainsboro campus of Princeton University. In 1869, New Brunswick was home to the first intercollegiate football game in the US, between Rutgers and Princeton. The college football experience lives on today at the newly expanded Rutgers Stadium, which attracts more than 50,000 fans each game day.

Residents and visitors benefit from the first-class medical facilities within the county, including nationally recognized Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Saint Peter’s University Hospital, The Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the PSE&G Children’s Specialized Hospital, all located in New Brunswick, and J.F.K. Medical Center in Edison, Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy and Old Bridge and the Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro bring first-rate acute care and ancillary businesses to the county.

The world headquarters for healthcare giant Johnson and Johnson has been located in New Brunswick since 1886, and the company remains one of Middlesex County’s greatest corporate partners. Its complex sits right in the middle of downtown New Brunswick, the county seat and cultural hub, to which thousands of patrons each year are drawn to award-winning productions at the State Theatre, George Street Playhouse and the Tony Award-winning Crossroads Theater.

A vibrant restaurant scene has grown around the theater district, and includes some of the most diverse and praiseworthy cuisine in the region. French, Cajun, New American, Ethiopian, Japanese, Middle-Eastern, and Italian hotspots line New Brunswick’s downtown streets.

Once visitors leave the city, they discover Middlesex County’s other gems. The Raritan River winds its way from Raritan Bay up into and out of New Brunswick. Bedroom communities, marinas, parkland and cultural pursuits line the river bank, offering beautiful waterfront views and access to countless tributaries and, of course, Raritan Bay.

The County’s 18-strong Parks System boasts some of the best maintained and diverse recreational opportunities in the region. Encompassing more than 6,300 acres, the county’s parks and conservation areas offer ball fields, playgrounds, jogging paths, hiking trails, a family skating rink and an outdoor amphitheater, which draws 50,000 people every summer to its Broadway-caliber Plays-in-the-Park series.

A popular summer concert series and numerous historic and cultural programs are offered every year. Perhaps one of the most unique offerings is East Jersey Old Town, a collection of renovated, reconstructed and replica buildings that illustrate what life was like in Middlesex County in the 18th century and which offer a glimpse into the county’s rich agricultural and manufacturing past.

Located within the heart of New Jersey, Middlesex County has set itself apart as the best place to live and to work in the region. It’s the place that more than 831,300 people call home. It’s one of the few counties in the nation to hold a AAA bond rating from Standard and Poor’s. And it is the birthplace of college football, the incandescent light bulb and duct tape. There’s no wonder why it has been said that Middlesex County is The Greatest County in the Land!
