Abstract
Based on some recent experimental evidence, kinetics of cluster growth in a fullerene C60 low-polar solution are considered within a model based on oxides C60Ox as aggregation initializers. A system of equations for the time-evolution of the cluster-size distribution function is developed. First stage of clusters growth consists in formation of packed small C60 clusters around separate fullerene oxides. For this stage analytical solutions of equations were obtained and compared with numerical results. During the next stages, cluster-cluster aggregation events start to play a role. First numerical results for stage II are obtained and discussed. The results are compared with experimental study of clusters growth in the saturated C60/benzene solution by dynamic light scattering.
