Abstract: Morphological parameters of the solid foams have been determined using computed microtomography, optical microscopy and helium pycnometry. For the first technique, impacts were studied of the voxel size and method of the image binarization on the measured parameters. Morphological parameters derived were compared and the differences discussed.
