Combustion is a reactive oxidation process that releases energy bound in chemical
compounds used as fuels─ energy that is needed for power generation, transportation …

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

Over the last 20 to 25 years theoretical chemistry (particularly theoretical chemical kinetics)
has played an increasingly important role in develo** chemical kinetics models for …

The state of the art and the further challenges of combustion chemistry research in laminar
flames are reviewed. Laminar flames constitute an essential part of kinetic model …

Ozonolysis is a major tropospheric removal mechanism for unsaturated hydrocarbons and
proceeds via “Criegee intermediates”—carbonyl oxides—that play a key role in tropospheric …

Advanced low-temperature combustion concepts that rely on compression ignition have
placed new technological demands on the modeling of low-temperature oxidation in general …

Biofuels, such as bio‐ethanol, bio‐butanol, and biodiesel, are of increasing interest as
alternatives to petroleum‐based transportation fuels because they offer the long‐term …

Although carbonyl oxides,“Criegee intermediates,” have long been implicated in
tropospheric oxidation, there have been few direct measurements of their kinetics, and only …

Combustion is directly related to energy conversion and the environment. Gas-phase
chemical reactions such as thermal decomposition, oxidation and recombination play a …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …
