Abstract:
The disclosed spray deposition systems and methods control the formation and dispensation of droplets during the atomization of a fluid. Such systems and methods generally can generate small quantities and droplets of a desired size of highly-viscous fluids and/or fluids having non-Newtonian properties or other complex rheologies using mechanical systems and processes with the option of further controlling the droplet size and/or the volume of droplets with various enhancements. The systems and methods stretch fluid between a fluid feed system and a surface and are able to form the controlled-volume of the droplets.
