Abstract
Evidence is given for gelation in a flame soot aerosol. The aggregatio n rate is more than 2 orders of magnitude greater than expected from t he Smoluchowski equation with a cluster-cluster aggregation kernel. Th e breakdown of this equation occurs when aggregate crowding becomes si gnificant.
