Impact ionization mass spectral data is essential for studying dusty space environments. Results obtained from impact plasmas' mass spectra often differ from those generated by other ionization methods, making the ability to study these impacts crucial for the development of flight mass spectrometer instruments. This research is typically conducted using electrostatic dust accelerators, such as the one at the IMPACT Lab at the University of Colorado. However, studies in these accelerators are currently limited to materials that can be charged and electrostatically accelerated—primarily those made of conductive materials or those whose spectral data are not obscured by a conductive polymer coating. There is a need for developing methods to create accelerable forms of materials commonly found in dusty space environments, such as silicates and hydrocarbons. In this thesis, I present work in applying a copper coating to anthracene microparticles, as well as a comprehensive method to produce controllably sized, nearly spherical microparticles from brittle materials, including anthracene.
