Abstract
Evidence is given for gelation in a flame soot aerosol. The aggregation rate is more than 2 orders of magnitude greater than expected from the Smoluchowski equation with a cluster-cluster aggregation kernel. The breakdown of this equation occurs when aggregate crowding becomes significant.Keywords
