Enbibi Sütyen. Imbibition is a type of diffusion where the water is absorbed by the solid particles called colloids causing an enormous increase in volume. The taking up of fluid by a colloidal system resulting in swelling.

72nd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Volume 64 Number 13 SaturdayTuesday November 2326 2019. Differences in fracture imbibition rates are influenced by the fracture width and overall roughness of the fracture surface. This suggests that de novo protein synthesis is not required for gene expression during early imbibition stages.
Cold imbibition cold chill imbibition or cold shock are all terms used to describe the same affects caused to seedlings.
The imbibition of water however deviates significantly from Lucas-Washburn kinetics when CMC is present because of. Colloids are hydrophilic in nature. The classical 05 plus 026 and 026 transitioning to 05. The absorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbent without forming a solution is called Imbibition.
