36. Actually, one would have to relate the radius of a fractal-like aggregate to the fractal generator, i.e. the smallest structure with the same fractal properties instead of to the (spherical) primary particles. This would introduce additional shape factors and constants that are not present in the current form, but not change the qualitative results. For details on this, see e.g. Ref. [31].
