Abstract
The influence of porosity on the electric conductivity and the dielectric constants of composite materials was studied using computer simulation (the Monte Carlo method). A new approach to the simulation of porous systems that treats pores as a component equivalent to the solid phase components was proposed. Within the framework of this approach, an analysis of the influence of the micro- and macroporosity on the electric conductivity was carried out. It was established that the concept of a barrier-disordered system is also valid for pores. It was shown for the first time that pores can serve as one of the factors that forms the contact barrier distribution function. The proposed theoretical models were in good agreement with the experimental data.
