There is often confusion between absorbents and adsorbents. Simply put, absorbents work by taking up liquid or gas into spaces within and throughout the material. Adsorbents accumulate liquid or gas ...

Flowing granular materials often superficially resemble classical fluids, but due to their finite yield stress and effectively athermal particles, their dynamical behavior is often counter-intuitive ...

Absorbent Absorbents incorporate substances throughout the body of the absorbing material. Adsorbent Adsorbents adhere substances over the surface of the adsorbing material. Desiccant Desiccants are ...
