The data in this paper are related to the research article entitled “Assessing the percentage of cork that a stopper should have from a mechanical perspective” (González and Terrazas, 2018). This data article contains data on the mechanical properties of different types of wine stoppers: 18 types of micro-agglomerated stoppers, three types of natural stoppers, and one type of co-extruded synthetic closure. Mechanical properties were evaluated with different analysis: Compression test for the maximum radial compression force, the young’s moduli and the diameter recovery, relaxation test for the relaxation force and the extraction test for the displacement force.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
