Abstract For millennia, humans have exploited the special properties of porous materials. Advances in recent years have yielded a new generation of finely structured porous materials that allow processes to be controlled at the molecular level. These materials are built by a strategy of modular construction, using molecular components designed to position their neighbors in ways that create predictable voids.

Soft porous solids can change their shapes by absorbing liquids via capillarity. Such poro-elasto-capillary interactions can be seen in the wrinkling of paper, swelling of cellulose sponges, and morphing of resurrection plants. Here, we introduce physical principles relevant to the phenomena and survey recent advances in the understanding of swelling and shrinkage of bulk soft porous media due to wetting and drying. We then consider various morphing modes of porous sheets, which are induced by localized wetting and swelling of soft porous materials. We focus on physical insights with the aim of triggering novel experimental findings and promoting practical applications.

Recent examples of organic synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals in confined spaces of MOFs are highlighted and compared with silica-based ordered porous solids, such as zeolites or mesoporous (organo)silica.

A micromechanics-based elastoplastic constitutive model for porous materials is proposed. With an assumption of modified three-dimensional Ramberg–Osgood equation for the compressible matrix material, the variational principle based on a linear comparison composite is applied to study the effective mechanical properties of the porous materials. Analytical expressions of elastoplastic constitutive relations are derived by means of micromechanics principles and homogenization procedures. It is demonstrated that the derived expressions do not involve any additional material constants to be fitted with experimental data. The model can be useful in the prediction of mechanical properties of elastoplastic porous solids.
