Title: | Skin Friction: Mechanical and Tribological Characterization of Different Papers Used in Everyday Life | Authors: | Vilhena, Luis M. Afonso, Luís Ramalho, Amílcar Lopes |
Keywords: | human skin; coefficient of friction; paper; mechanical properties; relative humid | Issue Date: | 21-Aug-2023 | Publisher: | MDPI | Project: | UIDB/00285/2020 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Materials | Volume: | 16 | Issue: | 16 | Abstract: | The coefficient of friction for different contacting materials against skin is mainly influenced by the nature of the materials (synthetic and natural fabrics), mechanical contact parameters (interfacial pressure and sliding velocities), and physiological skin conditions (ambient humidity and skin moisture content). In the present research work, seven different types of papers used in everyday life were analyzed. The physical properties of these materials were determined through tensile tests and friction tests. By comparing mechanical properties with coefficient of friction, it was possible to conclude that the coefficient of friction is strongly correlated with the mechanical properties. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/112185 | ISSN: | 1996-1944 | DOI: | 10.3390/ma16165724 | Rights: | openAccess |
