The crystal growth mechanism, kinetics, and microstructure development play a fundamental
role in tailoring the materials with controllable sizes and morphologies. The classical crystal …

The modelling of the flocculation process is reviewed. Recent developments in this area are
discussed with reference to the classical analytical expression of Smoluchowski defining …

A population balance model presented describes simultaneous coagulation and
fragmentation during shear‐induced flocculation. Given sufficient time, a floc‐size …

For particles undergoing fragmentation with a rate a (y)∼ y β+ 1, where y is the particle size,
a cascading process occurs when β< 1 in which smaller particles break up at increasingly …

The structure of aggregates formed by diffusion-limited aggregation can be characterized by
a fractal dimension of df≈ 1.75. Further, fluid shear changes the trajectories of the colliding …

The results of a detailed study of the evolution, scaling, and percolation of islands in a model
of submonolayer molecular-beam epitaxy appropriate for the case of dendritic island growth …

Background E-cadherin plays a pivotal role in tissue morphogenesis by forming clusters that
support intercellular adhesion and transmit tension. What controls E-cadherin mesoscopic …

Crystal growth of ZnS nanoparticles during hydrothermal coarsened in 4 M NaOH occurs via
a two-stage process. In the first stage, the primary particles grow into a size over hundred …

Many natural and industrial processes involve a complex set of competing reactions that
include several different species. Detailed kinetic modeling of such systems can shed light …

A dynamic-scaling approach is developed for the description of the droplet-size distribution
in vapor-deposited thin films and processes where droplets are formed by nucleation …
