Stanislav Dukhin

I was fortunate and honoured to have the opportunity to collaborate with Stanislav Samuilovich for 15 years in the area of microhydrodynamics and kinetics of multiphase dispersed systems. During this cooperation, we jointly published 17 articles and 2 monographs.
Stanislav Dukhin had been one of the few academic leaders who not only put forward bold ideas in the field of colloid and surface science but also established an academic school for young researchers, who later became leading scientists in many fundamental and applied scientific developments.
The warm memory of this outstanding man will forever remain in my heart.

Stanislav Dukhin was a fundamental figure in the field of Colloidal Science, whose work shaped the research of generations.
We met at several ELKIN conferences, and I remember him as an open and kind person, always eager to discuss and offer help on scientific matters. His knowledge and understanding of electrokinetic and dielectric phenomena were truly impressive.
My deepest condolences to Andrey.

Indeed this is a sad news. I had the chance to met Stanislav in the early '2000 within an international research project, having the honour to apreciate him for his outstanding contributions to science and for his dedication to work. I also remember a couple pleasent evening with him in the forestry of the Max-Plank Institute in Golm. For sure this is a big loss for the Colloid Science community. My heartfelt condolences to Andrei.

With the great sadness I learnt that Stanislav has passed away. This is a great loss for colloid science and the colloid community. He was a great man and an eminent scientist. I still remember our intense discussions on electrokinetics in the basement of the Pulp and Paper Research Centre at McGill University in Montreal. Rest in peace.

Stanislav Dukhin was my mentor, colleague, and friend, and I worked successfully with him for many years. Our joint masterpiece was the book on the dynamics of adsorption at liquid interfaces. We loved sitting in the garden and drinking apple juice. He awakened my interest in Mozart's music, even though I had originally only loved Beethoven. He has now passed away, and we will miss him-a great scholar and a remarkable personality.

Scientific schools have become rare species in modern academia. It is a great privilege to belong to one of the few remaining, to the Dukhin´s school. This sad news made me reflect on to what extent my way of scientific thinking has been influenced by Stanislav Samuilovich, and I see that his impact was enormous. And this is not surprising because we spent many-many hours (including on weekends at his home) discussing colloid and membrane science. Dear Teacher, rest in peace, we will always remember you!

I always admired his deep knowledge of Electrokinetics and the physics of interfaces in general. We all lost a reference and a guide in our understanding of this science. Personally, I enjoyed a lot walking with him and Fernando González-Caballero in Granada, and I cannot forget his scientific discussions with the late Johannes Lyklema in Elkin meetings. These were a source of knowledge for all participants. May Stanislav rest in peace. My sincere condolences to Andrei and the rest of his familiy.

Stanislav Dukhin was, without a doubt, one of the defining figures in electrokinetics and electro-surface research. More than anyone else, he struck me as a passionate and consistently focused scientist.

I first met him in the early 1990s in Dresden, where he was a guest of my doctoral supervisor, Hans-Jörg Jacobasch. He immediately saw that our apparatus for measuring streaming potentials on contact lenses-built with little knowledge but great enthusiasm-could actually be used to measure surface conductivity on planar surfaces. Within just a few days, he had developed ideas for an electrokinetic microslit cell, which we later built and successfully applied. I will never forget the long discussions with him about his concepts of charged, hydrated polymer structures at interfaces-whether here at the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, several times in the museum café of the New York Metropolitan Museum (to the astonishment of other visitors), at TokyoTech, or at the ELKIN conferences.

Stanislav was not only highly intelligent and deeply committed to his work, but also personally warm, reliable, and modest. I have thought of him often and will continue to do so.

To Andrey and all his relatives, my heartfelt condolences on his passing.

I first met Stanislav at a conference at Bristol University in the early 1990s and discovered two things immediately. The first was his enormous gifts as a scientist and the second was his love of chocolate bars! We stayed in contact and commenced scientific collaboration on a topic dear to both our hearts- the properties of bubbles and mineral flotation. Our first paper was published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science in 1998 [ vol 197, pages 275-292] where we developed the Generalized Sutherland equation and tested it experimentally.
Stanislav was a bon vivant and enjoyed dinners at home with our friends, when he spent time in Adelaide, along with nature, drives through the Adelaide Hills and discussing scientific problems in depth at work.
He was a brilliant man, and we miss him greatly.
With great sadness

Dear Andrey,
I would like to express my sincere condolences at the loss of your father. The scientific community will also mourn the loss of a great scholar, whose impact in electrokinetics will continue to be recognized by the Stanislav Dukhin Medal of the IES and the Dukhin number.
With sympathy,
Martin

Dear Andrey, please accept our sincere condolences.
We will remember Stanislav Samoylovich as an outstanding physicist, dedicated to science. A man of many talents. A man who founded a scientific school, beloved and respected by his many students. A kind and loving man.

On behalf of myself and my colleagues from the Institute of Colloid and Water Chemistry, I express our deepest condolences to Stanislav's family. He was a brilliant scientist and played an important role in the development of Ukrainian and world science. We were happy to work in his department and will always remember him. Nataliya

Great Scientist and Great Teacher. He created in his group a unique atmosphere of freedom, creativity and dedication to science. Becoming a member of Dukhin's team was the most important and successful moment of my life. Thank you, Stanislav Samuilovich, for everything!

Dear Andrey,
our deepest condolences to you and your family. Stanislav was a Great Scientist and he played an important role in our personal scientific careers. We will always remember him.
Truly yours,
Nina and Volodya Kovalchuk

Dear Andrey,

Kindly, accept my condolence.

Yours truly,
Isaak

He was a truly great scientist and an extraordinary person. Please accept my heartfelt condolences - his influence and kindness will always be remembered. I feel deeply fortunate to have learned from him; his passion for science and his humanity left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
