Results are given from the laboratory and calculation studies of the structure and mechanical properties of PU foams. Geometric and mechanical adequacy of simulation models is substantiated. The dependence of physico-mechanical characteristics upon foam microstructural parameters is analysed together with possibilities of their improvement due to upgraded production processes.
