Abstract
Colloidal aggregation plays an important role in the field of industrial production and environmental pollution. The temperature influence on colloidal aggregation is scarcely studied at present. In this paper, we simulated the temperature influence on colloidal aggregation dynamics and cluster structures using cluster-moving Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that increasing the temperature leads to an acceleration of colloidal aggregation. The particle distribution function indicated that the temperature has a weak influence on the short-range structure and when the volume fraction is 0.3 the temperature slightly affects the long-range structure.
