Abstract

Chemical reactions and physical processes responsible for the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soot in hydrocarbon flames are reviewed. The discussion is focused on major elements in the present understanding of the phenomena, clarification of concepts central to the present state of the art, and a summary of new results.
