Abstract
The friction behavior of human skin is determined by the complex interplay of the material and surface properties of the skin, as well as the contacting material, and strongly depends on the contact parameters (e.g., pressure and sliding velocity) and the presence of substances such as water, sweat, or skin surface lipids at the interface. Including a study on the effect of a surface's physical roughness for skin sliding over the surface, various studies have been conducted to understand human tactile sensibility. However, to investigate products in relation to human tactile sensibility, more objective research is needed. This study performed sliding experiments between the skin and the surfaces of phone cases to understand how the texture, friction, and stick-slip characteristics are related. Eight phone case surfaces with different topologies and chemical (or mechanical) compatibilities with skin were prepared and tested multiple times.
