Fractal agglomerate

For fractal agglomerates, the critical fragmentation number is inversely proportional to its volume (R/a)3... 

Diffusion-limited aggregation of particles also yields fractal agglomerates that have scale symmetry within wide cutoff limits. 

Under which process conditions are dense agglomerates of particles formed and which processes lead to fractal agglomerates Agglomerates of particles can have various dimensions when they are fractal. Describe some actual aggregation processes and give the dimension of the products of those processes. 

Note that for fractal agglomerates, the porosity Cagg is function of the... 

Fractal aggregate, fractal agglomerate aggregates or agglomerates with a non-uniform distribution of the constiment particles, which typically coincides with a very porous, branch-like morphology fractal aggregates are characterised by a power-law decrease of the pair-correlation density function g(v) (Eq. (4.8)) and a power-law relationship between mass and size (Eq. (4.9)), in which the exponent is less than the Euclidean dimension fractal aggregates are not ideal fractal objects, but rather obey the fractal relationships only in a statistical sense (cf. Sect. 4.2.1).

Positive deviations from Porod s law are much more common in SAXS. We have already seen that scattering from anisotropic inhomogeneities can lead to power-law decays in the scattering intensity with q (Fig. 6.6). Others include but are not limited to electron density fluctuations within the inhomogeneity, polymers, surface fractals, and mass fractal agglomerates.
