Modelling the self-assembly and structure of carbonaceous nanoparticles
The self-assembly and structure of carbonaceous particles are investigated using molecular modelling methods. This provides a deeper understanding of molecular interactions relevant to pollutant formation and growth in combustion processes and other carbon-based applications. The existing soot …

Effect of Iron on the Oxidative Capacity of Carbonaceous Nanoparticles
… of these detrimental effects. Trace metals and carbonaceous material of the nanometer-sized particles contained in PM<sub>2.5 </sub>have been implicated as key players in causing these effects. Here, the role of Fe is investigated with carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNP) while mimicking simple …

Effect of Carbonaceous Nanoparticles on Naturally Occurring Iron Reduction by Carboxylates
… understood. In the current study, the effect of carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNPs), contained within ultrafine PM (particle diameter ≤ 100 nm), is investigated on naturally occurring processes that increase the abundance of bioavailable iron. Enhancing iron bioavailability (i) increases primary …

Stochastic modelling of the growth of carbonaceous materials
… involving key molecules that constitute carbonaceous materials, namely polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), by applying a detailed particle model solved with a stochastic numerical method. In particular, a Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) algorithm is used to study the time-dependent …
