Preferred Label : fractal dimension;
Detailed label : fractal dimension, d;
IUPAC definition : Parameter that provides a mathematical description of the fractal structure of a polymer
network, an aggregated particulate sol, or of the particles that comprise them.;
Scope note : for the surface area of a fractal object, s ? r d' in which sis the
surface area contained within a radius, r, measured from any site or bond andd' is
termed the surface fractal dimension.; for a euclidean object of constant density, d 3, but for a fractal object,
d 3, such that its density decreases as the object gets larger.; m ? r d in whichmis the mass contained within a radius, r, measured
from any site or bond within a fractal structure.;
