Cork and corks

Manuel A. Fortes

European Review, 1993, vol. 1, issue 2, 189-195

Abstract: The common cork stopper takes advantage of the peculiar properties of the bark of the cork oak. This has very low permeability to both gases and liquids due to suberin and waxes; the cellular structure makes possible the deformation that gives a secure fit in the bottle neck.
