It is used to determine if a material is hydrophobic or hydrophilic by measuring the contact angle. For wicking to occur, a material must be hydrophilic with high surface energy, meaning it is easy to wet-out and can support the occurrence of capillary forces. The capillary action of a wicking process can allow for the movement of fluids in tight spaces without \u2013 or sometimes against \u2013 the force of gravity. The height that a liquid will travel \u2013 or wick &#8211; is inversely proportional to the pore size. A smaller pore size results in a higher wicking height and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3
