This Brief describes the influence of the different organic chelating agents on the topography, physical properties and phases of SPPS-deposited spinel ferrite splats. The author describes how by using the SPPS process, the coating is produced directly from a solution precursor and how all physical and chemical reactions such as evaporation, decomposition, crystallization and coating formation occur in a single step. The author details not only the innovative approach to liquid feeding, but also focuses on its effects on the spinel ferrite system. The results of experimentation as well as detailed explanations of the experiments are included.

Dr. Noppakun Sanpo is a member of the faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. His research activities involve suspension/solution plasma spray technology of cobalt ferrite coatings. Before moving to Australia, Dr. Sanpo was a researcher at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore studying composite coatings obtained from cold-spray technology of polymer/ceramic/metal powders. His research interests include solution/suspension precursor plasma spray, synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles, biomedical applications of nanoparticles, analysis and interpretation and structural analysis and phase transition behaviour of polymers.
