Abstract

The chapter delves into the use of cork composites in the aerospace industry, emphasizing the material's exceptional properties derived from its microstructure. Cork's lightweight, flexible, and durable nature, along with its sustainability, makes it an ideal choice for aerospace applications. The chapter discusses the production and processing of cork into laminates, which are used in aircraft and space vehicles for vibration and thermal insulation. Notable applications include the use of cork panels in aircraft brackets and space vehicle components to mitigate vibrational and thermal loadings. The chapter concludes by highlighting the environmental benefits and superior mechanical and thermal performance of cork composites, making them a valuable asset in the aerospace sector.
