Biography

Emil Chibowski was born in 1943. He received his M.Sc. degree in chemistry in 1967 at Maria Curie-Sklodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin, Poland and was employed at the Department of Physical Chemistry, UMCS. In 1973 he obtained Ph.D. degree in chemistry. In 1981 Dr. Chibowski received the habilitated doctor degree in physical chemistry (D.Sc.) and in 1987-1989 he was vice-director of the Institute of Chemistry at Mat.-Phys.-Chem. Faculty in UMCS. In 1989 Emil Chibowski obtained scientific degree ‘professor of chemistry’. Since 1993 until 2012 he was a head of the Department of Physical Chemistry, later renamed as the Chair of Physical Chemistry.

Research Interest

At the beginning he investigated problems of mineral ore beneficiation, especially the electrical double layer and electrokinetic phenomena occurring at the mineral/solution interfaces. Later apart the electrochemical phenomena he also started to investigate wetting properties of solid (mineral) surfaces and their surface free energy in aspects of practical wetting phenomena taking place in various systems. He found a relationship between changes of zeta potential and surface free energy of given solid surface. The relationship between electokinetic potential (zeta potential) and solid surface free energy was a novel approach unknown earlier in the literature. Professor Emil Chibowski until now continues his researches in the Department of Interfacial Phenomena. Generally, he focuses his investigations on the interfacial phenomena occurring at solid/liquid, liquid/gas and liquid/liquid interfaces, involving electrochemical phenomena, intermolecular and interfacial interaction, wettability and adhesion, contact angles and contact angle hysteresis, surface free surface energy and its components of solids, stability of dispersed systems, emulsion stability, influence of the external radio-frequency and magnetic electric fields on the properties of dispersed systems, effects of solid surface plasma treatment, and superhydrophobic surfaces. Lately one of the interest of Professor Emil Chibowski are investigations of lipid, phospholipids and sterols Langmuir films and Langmuir-Blodgett films deposited on a solid substrate, mostly in aspect of their surface free energy and the surfaces topography. Such films mimic natural biological membranes and are widely investigated in many laboratories.
