In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the tribology of human skin and present
an analysis of the available experimental results for skin friction coefficients. Starting with an …

Many aspects of both grip function and tactile perception depend on complex frictional
interactions occurring in the contact zone of the finger pad, which is the subject of the current …

The human finger is exquisitely sensitive in perceiving different materials, but the question
remains as to what length scales are capable of being distinguished in active touch. We …

The current paper describes an experimental study of the friction of the human finger pad.
The data highlight the role of sweat secretion and contact occlusion in producing wide …

Biotribology deals with all aspects of tribology concerned with biological systems. It is one of
the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tribology. It is recognised as one of the most …

Finger friction measurements performed on a series of printing papers are evaluated to
determine representativeness of a single individual. Results show occasionally large …

In the sliding contact between the fingerpad and a rough surface when touching a product's
surface, friction plays a role in the perception of roughness, slipperiness and warmth. For …

Existing methods for fabricating oil-repellent paper rely on highly fluorinated and therefore
toxic chemicals. Non-fluorinated omniphobic paper with low contact angle hysteresis (CAH) …

During object manipulation, humans adjust the grip force to friction, such that slippery
objects are squeezed more firmly than sticky ones. This essential mechanism to keep a …

The topic of this paper concerns the relation between friction perception and finger friction
behaviour. Two experiments were processed for some 20 individuals. The aim of the first …
