Wettability quantifies the affinity of a liquid over a substrate, and determines whether the surface is repellent or not. When both the liquid and the solid phases are made of the same chemical substance and are at thermal equilibrium,…

Compressing a porous, fluid-filled material will drive the interstitial fluid out of the pore space, as when squeezing water out of a kitchen sponge. Inversely, injecting fluid into a porous material can deform the solid structure, as when…
