Fragmentation and bond strength of airborne diesel soot agglomerates

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The potential of diesel soot aerosol particles to break up into smaller units under mechanical stress was investigated by a direct impaction technique which measures the degree of fragmentation of individual agglomerates vs. impact e...
