Wick-based delivery system with wick made of different composite materials

A wick-based delivery system, comprising:

• a mixture that contains both oil-based and water-based liquids;
• a container for holding the mixture;
• and
• a porous wick, having discrete first and second sections, the first section comprising a hydrophobic material and being generally impermeable to the water-based liquid, and the second section comprising a hydrophilic material and being generally impermeable to the oil-based liquid, wherein the oil-based liquid is transported from within the container, through the first section, to a surface of the first section that is exposed to the ambient air, and the water-based liquid is transported from within the container, through the second section, to a surface of the second section that is exposed to the ambient air.

A wick-based delivery system, comprising:

• a mixture that contains both oil-based and water-based liquids;
• a container for holding the mixture;
• and
• a capillary member, having discrete first and second sections, the first section comprising a hydrophobic material and being generally impermeable to the water-based liquid, and the second section comprising a hydrophilic material and being generally impermeable to the oil-based liquid, wherein the oil-based liquid is transported from within the container, along the first section, to a surface of the first section that is exposed to the ambient air, and the water-based liquid is transported from within the container, along the second section, to a surface of the second section that is exposed to the ambient air.

A wick-based delivery system, comprising:

• an oil-based liquid;
• a water-based liquid;
• a container for holding both liquids, wherein the container has separate compartments for separately holding the respective liquids;
• and
• a porous wick, having discrete first and second sections, the first section comprising a hydrophobic material and being generally impermeable to the water-based liquid, and the second section comprising a hydrophilic material and being generally impermeable to the oil-based liquid, wherein the oil-based liquid is transported from within the container, through the first section, to a surface of the first section that is exposed to the ambient air, and the water-based liquid is transported from within the container, through the second section, to a surface of the second section that is exposed to the ambient air.

A wick-based delivery system, comprising:

• an oil-based liquid;
• a water-based liquid;
• a container for holding the oil-based liquid and the water-based liquid, wherein the container has separate compartments for separately holding the respective liquids;
• and
• a capillary member, having discrete first and second sections, the first section comprising a hydrophobic material and being generally impermeable to the water-based liquid, and the second section comprising a hydrophilic material and being generally-impermeable to the oil-based liquid, wherein the oil-based liquid is transported from within the container, along the first section, to a surface of the first section that is exposed to the ambient air, and the water-based liquid is transported from within the container, along the second section, to a surface of the second section that is exposed to the ambient air.

A wick-based delivery system, comprising:

• a mixture that contains both oil-based and water-based liquids;
• a container for holding the mixture;
• and
• a wick, having discrete first and second sections, the first section comprising either a porous, hydrophobic material or a non-porous, hydrophobic capillary member and being generally impermeable to the water-based liquid, and the second section comprising either a porous, hydrophilic material or a non-porous, hydrophilic capillary member and being generally impermeable to the oil-based liquid, wherein the oil-based liquid is transported from within the container, through or along the first section, to a surface of the first section that is exposed to the ambient air, and the water-based liquid is transported from within the container, through or along the second section, to a surface of the second section that is exposed to the ambient air.
