Applications of capillary action in drug delivery [PDF]
iScience, 2021 Summary: Contrary to the fact that capillary action is ubiquitous in our daily lives, its role in drug delivery has not attracted attention. Therefore, its application in medicine and disease treatment has not been actively developed.

Pore Scale Modeling of Capillary Action in Determining Oil–Water Flowing by Water Flooding: A Case Study of Low-Permeability Sandstone in the Ordos Basin, Northern China [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2023 Capillary action plays an important role in oil recovery by water flooding. As the pore channel radius decreases, the capillary action increases, which seriously affects reservoir development, especially in a low-permeability sandstone reservoir.

Differential Radial Capillary Action of Ligand Assay (DRaCALA). [PDF]
Curr Protoc Mol Biol, 2019 AbstractProtein interactions with nucleic acids are important for the synthesis, regulation, and stability of macromolecules. While a number of assays are available for interrogating these interactions, the differential radial capillary action of ligand assay (DRaCALA) has been developed as an easy and flexible platform that allows for the study of ...

Capillary Action Around Dental Structures [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 1973 The capillary action of saliva occurs in the crevices around and between teeth and around dental restorations. Marginal leakage and denture retention caused by a thin film of saliva are aspects of capillary phenomena. Liquids in capillaries isolated from a reservoir showed an increase in surface tension and lower vapor pressure.
