The Rationale behind Cork Properties: A Review of Structure and Chemistry (2015, methodology): “It has been used to “cork” glass bottles since their emergence in the beginning of the seventeenth century, and it sealed ceramic amphora many centuries earlier (Taber 2007; Pereira 2007).”
Suberin: A promising renewable resource for novel macromolecular materials (2006, background): “interesting example of a potential industrial source of ‘‘suberin monomers’’ is of course the cork industry in the Mediterranean region [18].”
Poisson's ratio and modern materials (2011, background): “If tensile stress is applied normal to the radial growth, ν ≤ 0 in the direction of growth and ν > 0 orthogonal to thi”
