Friction mechanisms and abrasion of the human finger pad in contact with rough surfaces

The friction and abrasion behaviour of the finger pad on abrasive papers was investigated in friction experiments, combined with microscopic analyses and a protein assay to quantify skin particles abraded in friction contacts. Friction measurements at varied normal forces resulted in relatively high...
