Effects of sebum properties on skin friction: investigation using a bench test

The hydro lipid film is an emulsion of sweat and sebum that covers the surface of the human skin and affects the tribological properties of the human skin. This study investigates the effects of the composition of the sebum on the average coefficient of friction. A range of simplified sebums was dev...
