Aggregation kinetics
Aggregation kinetics refers to the study of how individual molecules or particles come together to form larger clusters over time. It describes the rates at which these particles stick and grow, influenced by factors like concentration, temperature, and medium conditions. Understanding aggregation kinetics helps predict the formation of structures in processes such as protein clustering, mineral deposits, or particle formations, which are important in fields like medicine, materials science, and environmental science. Essentially, it’s about understanding how small building blocks assemble into bigger, more complex structures through rate-controlled processes.
