Imbibition (Noun)

The act of consuming liquids.

Nouns denoting acts or actions.

(chemistry) the absorption of a liquid by a solid or gel.

Nouns denoting natural processes.

The process of imbibition played a crucial role in the development of the new water-absorbing gel product.
Researchers studied the imbibition of various liquids by different types of porous materials.
The rate of imbibition was significantly affected by the surface tension of the liquid and the pore size of the solid.
In the experiment, the imbibition of water by the hydrogel was measured over a period of several hours.
Understanding the principles of imbibition is essential for designing effective desiccants and absorbents.
