On the Shrinkage and Stiffening of a Cellulose Sponge Upon Drying [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mechanics, 2013
Everyone can observe the peculiar effect of water on a sponge: upon drying, a sponge shrinks and stiffens; it swells and softens upon wetting. In this work, we aim to explain and model this behavior by using the Biot–Coussy poromechanical framework. We measure the volume and the bulk modulus of sponges at different water contents.
