https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.T06296
A special type of @C00824@ produced by @P04961@ of gaseous @H02889@ in a preheated chamber in the absence of air. Thermal black consists of relatively large individual spheres (\(100{-}500\ \text{nm}\) diameter) and aggregates of a small number of pseudospherical particles. The preferred alignment of the layer planes is parallel to the surface of the spheres.
