Here, we describe the sequential evolution of poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) through two distinct regimes evidenced by annular or radial cracking and show that the cracking dynamics and solvent-retention postdrying and postcracking are mediated by wetting to the substrate surface. The corresponding changes in the PEDOT:PSS morphology are also observed to relate to the radial or cracking dynamics. It is suggested that the wetting-dependent effect offers a route to control morphology, understand solvent retention, and reduce cracking in polymer latex films. This study highlights the importance of substrate choice, an underexplored area of investigation in the study of colloidal materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.8b00085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,6]],"date-time":"2018-04-06T00:08:27Z","timestamp":1522973307000},"page":"3868-3873","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Solvent Retention and Crack Evolution in Dropcast\nPEDOT:PSS and Dependence on Surface Wetting"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"3","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1100-3990","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"James","family":"McQuade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CUNY Queens College , , 65-30 Kissena Blvd , Flushing, , ,","place":["Queens, New York, United States, 11367"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0652-4214","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Luat T.","family":"Vuong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CUNY Queens College , , 65-30 Kissena Blvd , Flushing, , ,","place":["Queens, New York, United States, 11367"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090207573719900_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1209\/0295-5075\/25\/6\/004","article-title":"An Experimental Study of Cracking Induced by Desiccation","volume":"25","author":"Groisman","year":"1994","journal-title":"Europhys.
