Abstract

An influence of different treatment of porous glass (water adsorption, heat or hexamethyldisilazane treatment) on the values of elasticity parameters was investigated. The laboratory ultrasonic tests were used to determine the dynamical elastic modulus. The observed changes of the dynamic elastic modulus of porous glasses were related with processes of adsorption and desorption of water from the pores.
