Short summary
This work investigates hygroscopic properties of internally mixed organic/inorganic aerosol particles. Aerosol particles containing organic and inorganic components can phase separate under certain relative humidity conditions, creating particles with an inorganic core and an organic shell. This paper explores whether water uptake from gaseous phase still occurs in such phase-separated systems. It finds that phase separation does not inhibit water uptake for the five systems that were studied.
