This paper discusses the mechanics of capillary flow within paper, specifically focusing on the wicking of liquids into porous, fibrous networks. 3. Biological and Complex System Capillarity

A foundational paper (1921) examining the dynamics of capillary flow, comparing static capillary rise to dynamic flow. It explores how liquids move through porous materials, essential for understanding infiltration and impregnation. capillary

This paper introduces the "paper capillary" to improve sampling in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, allowing for better control of fluid transport. This paper discusses the mechanics of capillary flow

This paper studies capillary action in space (low gravity) environments, analyzing how fluids behave when they are not influenced by gravity. It explores how liquids move through porous materials,

A detailed study of how blood behaves within tiny capillary tubes, specifically looking at the resistance to flow (bolus flow) and how it compares to standard viscous flow.

A theoretical investigation of how capillary tubes work, focusing on how surface tension and intermolecular forces allow liquid to flow against gravity. 2. Capillary Action in Microfluidics & Paper
