Abstract
A method of storing and dispensing a fluid includes providing a vessel configured for selective dispensing of the fluid therefrom. A polymerized polymeric material is provided within the vessel. The fluid is contacted with the polymerized polymeric material for take-up of the fluid by the polymerized polymeric material. The fluid is released from the polymerized polymeric material and dispensed from the vessel.
