Investigation of reciprocating friction characteristics between different bionic surfaces of prosthesis materials and skin

Investigation of reciprocating friction characteristics between different bionic surfaces of prosthesis materials and skin

In this study, three types of bionic texture surfaces were designed, based on the microstructure of tree frog and gecko feet, for two typical prosthetic substrates: silicone rubber and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). The surface energy of all bionic texture surfaces, and the relative dis...
