Abstract

A method has been developed for determining the bond energies between nanosized particles from the kinetics of the rearrangement of aerosol agglomerates. The method of calculation is based on the change in Gibbs' free energy during restructuring. For Ag and Cu agglomerates, bond energies between the nanosized particles are of the order of magnitude calculated from bulk Hamaker constants.
