 Abstract:
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the splat morphology of flame sprayed ethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA). We studied the effect of stand-off distance on splat morphology deposited onto glass and mild steel substrates. The morphology of EMAA droplets can be described as a ?splash splat? when sprayed onto mild steel at room temperature, whereas a 35 cm stand-off distance produced a 100% disk-shaped splat when deposited onto a glass substrate.
