Dimensional and mass changes&lt;br/&gt;induced by heat treatment were measured and the chemical composition was&lt;br/&gt;analysed. The thermal degradation of cork is small for short periods of&lt;br/&gt;treatment but increases with time and temperature. Cork looses after 42&lt;br/&gt;days of treatment 6.8 % of its mass at 100-degrees-C and 19.9 % at&lt;br/&gt;150-degrees-C. Cork extractives and polysaccharides were found to be the&lt;br/&gt;most temperature labile components. The cellular structure, observed by&lt;br/&gt;scanning electron microscopy, did not change with treatment in these&lt;br/&gt;conditions. Compression curves of untreated and heat treated cork&lt;br/&gt;samples were obtained, which show an increase of compression strength&lt;br/&gt;upon heating for short exposure periods and a decrease for longer ones.&lt;br/&gt;The changes observed in the compression behaviour of cork treated at&lt;br/&gt;100-degrees-C and 150-degrees-C were related to the chemical composition&lt;br/&gt;changes induced by heat treatment.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
