Mechanical Engineering. This Literature review has to cover all previous work regarding methods of tribological testing on human skin friction. My thesis involves the use of a UMT machine (friction test) on the volar forearm and also the corneometer(water) and sebumeter(oil). My project aim is to develop a protocol to measure the changes in tribological properties(friction, hydration, oil levels) of skin before and after application of vaseline.The objectives include:
Familiarise with UMT machine and its functions and controls
Carry out tests in laboratory.
Identification of the correct parameters to carry out tests.
Eg. Amount of cream application, Time duration between application and testing(acclimatisation), Location of cream application, atmosphere conditions effect.
Run similar tests with cavilon.(Other creams also applicable)
Create a Standard Protocol for Testing using the UMT machine.
Clinical trials with the identified standard protocol.
I have a list of papers which need to be referenced and can provide softcopy.
