Research Fellow
The Procter & Gamble Company
Cincinnati, OH, United States
Phillip Vinson, Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, is a Research Fellow at Procter & Gamble’s Fabric & Home Care Innovation Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he leads the Surfactant Innovation Strategy for the Fabric & Home Care business. Dr. Vinson joined P&G in 1990 after receiving his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, where he studied surfactants and their microstructure using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and his BS in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University. Phil is currently on the Editorial Advisory Board for the Journal of Surfactants and Detergents and was previously an Associate Editor for the Journal. Over the past 3 decades, Phil has become one of P&G’s leading experts on surfactants across the entire technical landscape (design, synthesis, measurement, model development, supply development and manufacturing). He contributes to and keeps ahead of the unprecedented pace of change we see today in the surfactant area stimulated by consumer needs, sustainability challenges, legislation dynamics, new product forms and the feedstocks available for surfactant innovators, leveraging a deep understanding of the physics of mixed surfactant systems and their interactions with other components of the system. He couples this with a strong knowledge of available and emerging building blocks and the industrial reactions necessary to transform these into viable industrial surfactant options. Phil has numerous technical publications and over 70 granted US patents.
