Abstract

Nucleation is an important yet poorly understood step in soot formation. Strong chemical bonds between PAH monomers are required as physical dimerization cannot explain soot formation at high temperatures. Dimers can be considered as soot nuclei as larger oligomers have negligible contribution.
