Crack densification in drying colloidal suspensions

As sessile drops of aqueous colloidal suspensions dry, a close-packed particle deposit forms that grows from the edge of the drop toward the center. To compensate for evaporation over the solid’s surface, water flows radially through the deposit, generating a negative pore pressure in the deposit as...
