Abstract
Samples of black cork agglomerate boards were observed by scanning electron microscopy, prior and after different densifications. These boards were densified under conditions previously defined, and were observed in two directions, parallel and perpendicular to the compression axis. The relationship between the average cell wall distance and the compression applied was studied and it was found that the maximum densification is achieved with a pressure of ca. 3 MPa. Some aspects of the influence of densification treatments on the chemical composition of the material were also broached.
