Absorbent Materials

Absorbent materials are substances that can soak up liquids or moisture. They work by drawing in and holding liquid within their structure. Common examples include sponges, paper towels, and certain types of fabrics. These materials have a high porosity, which means they contain many tiny spaces that allow liquids to be drawn in. Absorbent materials are widely used in everyday life, from cleaning spills to personal hygiene products, and even in industrial applications like oil spill cleanup. Their ability to manage moisture makes them essential in various fields, including healthcare, agriculture, and construction.
