The mechanism of carbon particulate (soot) inception has been a subject of numerous
studies and debates. The article begins with a critical review of prior proposals, proceeds to …

Combustion and other high-temperature processes can produce solid aerosol nanoparticles
with complex morphologies, including fractal-like aggregates of primary particles …

Fluorescence lifetimes and quantum yields featuring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) and other organics constituting pyrogenic carbon particulate matter (PM) are seldom …

It is challenging for simultaneous removal of VOCs and soot as soot would aggravate coke
formation, and the lack of a deep understanding of pollutant effect on catalyst textural …

The impact of organic carbon (OC) on the light absorption of soot is determined by discrete
element modeling coupled with the discrete dipole approximation for computing the …

Examining the features distinguishing organic carbon from soot is crucial for understanding
the source, the effect on the environment and their respective role in aerosol chemistry and …

This paper reviews recent results concerning specific structure-sensitive parameters of soot
such as the content of hydrogen and the size and shape of sp2-hybridized carbon featuring …

Characterization of materials at the nanoscale plays a crucial role in in-depth understanding
the nature and processes of the substances. Mass spectrometry (MS) has characterization …

In spite of the substantial interest and ongoing research in the field of superhydrophobicity,
the wide daily-life usability of extremely water repellent coatings is somehow impeded due …

Soot particles undergo considerable changes in composition, morphology, as well as in
internal structure during formation from the incipient particles to more mature aggregates …
