Abstract
The present application is directed to a reservoir for use with a micro-electromechanical device having a first surface area to be lubricant. The reservoir comprises a solid component with a porous structure having a second surface area. The second surface area is greater than the first surface area. The reservoir also comprises a lubricant capable of reversibly reacting with either the solid component or the first surface area of the micro-electromechanical device.
