Abstract

A new equationE =E 0 (1 −bp)n has been derived semi-empirically to describe the porosity dependence of elastic properties of thermosetting polymers. The material constantb is defined as a “pore distribution geometry factor” and the other material constantn is dependent on pore geometry. The equation shows good agreement with the data on porous polyester and epoxy resins.
