Abstract:

Abstract: This paper observed through SEM and analyzed the microstructure of cork samples. The mechanical property, processing and utilization of cork is closely related to its microstructure. In the tangential section, cork cells are seen as polygons in a honeycomb-like arrangement, while the transverse and radial sections show a brickwall-like structure. Each of these cork cells has average 14 faces. There are corrugations on the cell walls. The three dimension structure of cork cell is a prism, cork cells are connected with lentoid lenticels.
