Criteria for Crack Formation and Air Invasion in Drying Colloidal Suspensions

The drying of sessile drops of aqueous colloidal suspensions leads to the formation of a close-packed particle deposit. As water evaporates, a solidification front propagates from the edge of the drop toward the center, leaving behind a thin disk-shaped deposit. For drops with sufficiently large par...
