The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

As the main pollutant emitted by automobile engines, soot particles have brought great harm
to the environment and human health. However, the soot formation process in automobile …

The study of soot has long been motivated by its adverse impacts on health and the
environment. However, this combustion knowledge is also relevant to the production of …

The gas-to-particle transition is a critical and hitherto poorly understood aspect in
carbonaceous soot particle formation. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key …

Soot particles produced during the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels pose significant health
and environmental risks while also holding potential for various industrial applications …

Nonthermal plasma flow tube reactors are industrially scalable systems for the production of
nanocrystal (NC) based materials and coatings. One key advantage of nonthermal plasma …

During the agglomeration of nanoparticles and in particular, soot, a change in both the flow
regime (from free molecular to near continuum) as well as the change of agglomeration …

Van der Waals (vdW) are probably one of the most important interaction potentials or forces
between nanoparticles and interfaces found in many applications of powder technology …

Mature soot aggregates exhibit a morphology which is currently mimicked by diffusion-
limited aggregation (DLCA) codes, ie with a sticking probability= 1 when two aggregates …

Nanoclusters in the gas phase grow by condensation and coagulation, which heat up
nanoclusters, creating thermal non-equilibrium with the surrounding gas. The extent of non …
