The characteristics of porous layers of a dispersed material 
have been investigated by the method of computer modeling. A linear 
growth in the porosity with increase in the adhesive force has been 
revealed. The statistical distribution functions of the size of pores 
and their shape have been computed and analyzed for different values 
of the adhesion forces. The distinctive features of the orientation 
of pores for different adhesive forces have been noted.
