Abstract

Fume agglomeration frustrates electron microscopy of individual primary particles. Lauric acid was added to an ethanol suspension of metal oxide fume particles collected from arc welding in order to create a dense suspension that minimized interparticle contact. Evaluation of transmission electron micrographs demonstrated that the surfactant aided dispersion and therefore analysis of individual particles.
