Wikipedia
porousness
Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Strictly speaking, some tests measure the "accessible void", the total amount of void space accessible from the surface (cf. closed-cell foam). There are many ways to test porosity in a substance or part, such as industrial CT scanning. The term porosity is used in multiple fields including pharmaceutics, ceramics, metallurgy, materials, manufacturing, petrophysics, hydrology, earth sciences, soil mechanics, and engineering.

porousness
Porousness refers to the quality or state of having tiny openings or spaces often capable of allowing liquids, gases, or microscopic particles to pass through. It indicates the degree to which a material is permeable, thereby allowing it to absorb or transmit fluids. The porousness of a material can significantly affect its properties and potential uses.
