Cork powder and granules are the major subproducts of the cork industry, one of the leading
economic activities in Portugal and other Mediterranean countries. Many applications have …

Interdigitated and square laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrodes were successfully
fabricated by direct laser writing of common natural cork bottle stoppers. The laser …

Cork (phellem) is a multilayered dead tissue protecting plant mature stems and roots and
plant healing tissues from water loss and injuries. Cork cells are made impervious by the …

Classically, the best attempts to separate suberin from cork biopolymers have resulted in low
efficiency; here, we report a class of biocompatible and biodegradable cholinium-based …

Cholinium hexanoate, a biocompatible and biodegradable ionic liquid, was recently
demonstrated to efficiently and selectively extract suberin domains from cork, combining …

Cork is the bark of Quercus suber L., the cork oak tree. It is currently explored for different
industrial applications, of which stoppers for the wine industry is the most representative and …

The combination of the near infrared (NIR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) absorbance
spectra (1100–2500nm and 4000–600cm− 1) of 100 cocoa powder samples was used to …

Cholinium alkanoates, a class of benign ionic liquids, were demonstrated to efficiently
extract suberin domains from cork. A detailed characterisation of the extracted material has …

This study evaluates the possibility of adding value to cork granulates, byproducts of cork
processing, by using them as biosorbents and precursors of activated carbons. Activation …

In this work the ability of cork wastes to remove Cd (II) and Pb (II) from aqueous solutions
has been studied. The kinetics of the biosorption system, the influence of the aqueous pH …
