Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning
modify Earth's climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through …

Soot from jet fuel combustion in aircraft engines contributes to global warming through the
formation of contrail cirrus clouds that make up to 56% of the total radiative forcing from …

Direct radiative forcing (DRF) of aerosols is driven by aerosol concentration, size, and
mixing state, and solar radiation. This work introduces Core-Shell Mie model optimization …

The impact of aerosols, especially the absorbing aerosols, in the Himalayan region is
important for climate. We closely examine ground-based high-quality observations of …

The structure (size and morphology) of carbon black (CB) largely determines its
performance in tires, inks, batteries etc. Here, the impact of CB process synthesis variables …

Soot aggregates form as open, fractal-like structures, but aged atmospheric particles are
often observed to be restructured into more-compact shapes due to internal mixing …

Here, inspired from butterfly wing, novel hierarchical biomimetic structures composed of
tunable nano-structured surfaces, rich micro/nanopores and aligned grooves from …

Recent studies have suggested that injection of solid particles such as alumina and calcite
particles for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) instead of sulfur-based injections could …

Understanding the dynamics of soot formation and growth during combustion of jet fuel is
essential for mitigation of aircraft engine emissions. Here, soot formation during enclosed …

Internal oxidation is most important for removal of soot in diesel particulate filters (DPFs).
Furthermore, it enhances the porosity of carbon blacks (CBs), increases their specific …
