- Whenever crystals grow they are likely to collide and aggregate - whether that be in industry, biology or the environment. This paper elaborates a fully rigorous theory capable of describing crystal aggregation at multiple length scales, describes experiments to test that theory and quantify the necessary material property. In so doing it provides the first rigorous quantitative description of crystal aggregation. In industry, in particular, this is of great commercial significance - since aggregation can be an essential component in producing particles large enough to harvest, or fatal to the particles' effectiveness in application.
