By the method of laboratory modeling, physical-mechanical properties of dust matrices (from SiO2, C) and organic matrices (from DL-alanine, DL-treonine, L-valine) were studied. In most cases the matrices are very porous (0.6 to 0.9), have low density (10 to 50 kg/cu m) and mechanical strength 5000 to 50,000 Pa. Under experimental conditions similar to the position of a comet nucleus at 1 AU from the Sun, matrices some millimeters thick are produced at a rate of 8 times 10 to the minus 8th power/m/sec on the surface of H2O ice.
