Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a porous material having open pores and a method for its production, comprising the steps of preparing a slurry from a mixture comprising a bisphenol-type epoxy resin, a specific mixture amide compound as a hardener, a filler and water, casting the slurry in a water-impermeable mold, hardening the slurry while it contains the water and dehydrating the hardened body.
