Short summary

The ability of particle-phase chemistry to alter the molecular composition and enhance the growth rate of nanoparticles is investigated through the use of a kinetic growth model. The effects of particle-phase chemistry are found to be most pronounced for particles larger than about 20 nm in diameter. The results are discussed in the context of recent experimental measurements of particle-size-dependent molecular composition.
