Is this the same as Deliquescent? If not, what's the difference?

  • i am by no means an expert but i would think that the main difference is the phrase "forms a liquid solution" found in the article for "Deliquescent"
    • According to my offline pedia, a deliq.. dissolves in water from the air while a hygro.. just tends to absorb it.

is cotton Hygroscopic because each fibre aborbs water or because the cotton fibres trap air, and in this trapped air water exists as water vapor ? Teeteetee 10:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
