Surface Activity of Petroleum Derived Lubricants

Lilianna Z. Pillon received her MSc in chemistry from the University of Lodz, Poland, and her PhD from the University of Windsor, Canada. She was awarded a National Research Council (NRC) of Canada Postdoctoral Fellowship and studied polymer blends at the NRC Industrial Materials Research Institute in Boucherville, Quebec. She joined Polysar Ltd., Latex R&D Division, where she developed an interest in polymer emulsions and chemical interactions. She also worked for Imperial Oil, Research Department, where she developed an expertise in the base stock processing and quality followed by work in the industrial oil group and the engine oil group. She was awarded patents related to the interfacial properties of lube oil base stocks and the use of surface active additives. She is the author of the book Interfacial Properties of Petroleum Products published by CRC Press in 2007.
