peer agreement (net): +1take-up of water Explanation: "Take-up" is a bit more general than absorption or adsorption. Most polymers do indeed "absorb" water, affecting both their mechanical and electrical properties. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-05-20 12:59:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See, for example, http://iopscience.iop.org/0964-1726/20/8/085010, among others |

peer agreement (net): +1water uptake Explanation: Term of the art. I pasted a couple of examples in as links. You'll find hundreds of thousands. You'll see water sorption and absorption too in various places, but those will have the same root in French. I would translate reprise as uptake.
