abstract = {Capillarity-driven transport in nanoporous solids is
ubiquitous in nature and is of increasing importance for the
functionality of modern liquid-infused engineering
materials. During imbibition, highly curved menisci are
driven by negative Laplace pressures of several hundred
atmospheres, exerting an enormous contractile load on an
increasing portion of the porous matrix. Due to the
challenge of simultaneously monitoring imbibition and
deformation with high spatial resolution, the resulting
coupling of solid elasticity to liquid capillarity has
remained largely unexplored. Here, we study water imbibition
in mesoporous silica using optical imaging, gravimetry, and
high-resolution dilatometry. In contrast to an expected
Laplace pressure-induced contraction, we find a
square-root-of-time expansion and an additional abrupt
length increase when the menisci reach the top surface. The
final expansion is absent when we stop the imbibition front
inside the porous medium in a dynamic imbibition-evaporation
equilibrium, as is typical for water transport and
transpiration in plants. These peculiar deformation
behaviors are validated by single-nanopore molecular
dynamics simulations and described by a continuum model that
highlights the importance of expansive surface stresses at
the pore walls (Bangham effect) and the buildup or release
of contractile Laplace pressures as nanoscale menisci
collectively advance, arrest, or disappear. Our model
predicts that these observations are valid not only for
water imbibition in silica, but for any imbibition process
in nanopores, regardless of the liquid/solid combination.
This also suggests that simple deformation measurements can
be used to quantify surface stresses and Laplace pressures
or transport in a wide variety of natural and artificial
porous media.},
