Abstract

A novel charge-based technique for classifying fractal-like aerosol agglomerates based on their morphology is demonstrated. The study discusses the application of this technique to flame soot aerosols where singly and doubly net-charged agglomerates of similar sizes were segregated using electrostatic classifiers and shown to have different morphologies. The flexibility and simplicity of this technique does not limit its application to aerosols, making it an attractive candidate for performing particle shape selection of different types of nano and micromaterials.
