DOI: 10.1007/s00107-017-1284-6
Abstract: Single-layered particleboards were produced from granulated Quercus cerris bark containing cork and phloem granules using standard hot-press equipment and phenol–formaldehyde resin. The experimental boards were tested for thickness swelling, mechanical strength and thermal properties. Scanning… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00107-021-01658-6
Abstract: Despite the higher specific mechanical properties and the lower density of polymeric foams, these materials present cumulative damage behaviour that implies in the second and successive impacts, their mechanical properties decrease drastically. However, cork and… read more here.
