Measurements of the mass uptake as a function of time, m(t), are in good agreement with the Lucas-Washbum √t -prediction typical of imbibition of liquids into porous hosts. The relative capillary rise velocities scale as expected from the bulk fluid parameters.enPhysikConference Paper10.1557/proc-0899-n09-07Other
