PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel material that has shock-absorbing characteristics for a mechanical load and sufficient extensibility in order to follow a movement and also exhibits excellent moisture permeability.SOLUTION: The silicone porous material is provided, which has a water-insoluble solid particle dispersible in water existing in continuous pores. The silicone porous material is obtained from a water-in-oil emulsion including at least an organopolysiloxane, the water-insoluble solid particle dispersible in water, a surfactant, and water, and exhibits excellent moisture permeability because the water-insoluble solid particles exist or unevenly exist in the continuous pores to the extent that passing of water vapor is not prevented.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】機械的負荷の緩衝性を備え、動きに追従するための十分な伸張性を有するとともに優れた透湿性を発揮する新規材料の提供。【解決手段】水に分散可能な非水溶性固体粒子が連続孔内に存在するシリコーン多孔体を提供する。このシリコーン多孔体は、オルガノポリシロキサン、水に分散可能な非水溶性固体粒子、界面活性剤、及び水を少なくとも含む油中水型エマルションから得ることができ、連続孔内に、水蒸気が通過することを阻害しない程度に前記非水溶性固体粒子が存在あるいは偏在しているため、優れた透湿性を示す。【選択図】なし
