Title:
In memory of Yurko Duda, a physicist like few ones
Last February 11th, being in full summit
of his career as a scientist, lamentably doctor Yurko Duda passed away. An outstanding
scientist participating in the Molecular Engineering Research Program of the Mexican Institute of Petroleum (IMP),
Yurko was persistently collaborating in diverse projects of basic
and applied research, as well as in the formation
of human resources since March 2001. His theoretical research had an important impact on the
experimental design of diverse materials and
products developed at IMP: foams, detergents
for petroleum, coats, inhibitors-dispersants of
asphaltenes, and especially on the adsorption
phenomenon of polymers and particles on surfaces. This work, among others, has a direct implication in the development of anticorrosives...
