  Porous polymer films of Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) are synthesized by solution
casting technique using gamma irradiated: (a) PEO powder (S-series) and (b) PEO
- methanol solution (L-series). Pore phase forms instantaneously during
preparation. Optimization of the pore content and distribution enables
tailoring of associated properties for multifaceted applications. This method
could be analyzed for mapping of porosity and average pore size. Practicability
and repeatability of the developed programme has been established for
monophasic system using backscattered imaging mode of SEM. This program is
underdevelopment, but PROGIMAGE-POR bears the novelty of using image from
either 2D-or 3D imaging system and could be applied for intricate
composite/layered system.
