Background: Friction blisters occur when shear loading causes the separation of dermal layers. Consequences range from minor pain to life-threatening infection. Past research in blister formation has focused on in vivo experiments, which complicate a mechanics-based study of the phenomenon.
Methods: A Synthetic Skin Simulant Platform (3SP) approach was developed to investigate the effect of textile fabrics (t-shirt knit and denim cottons) and surface treatments (dry and wet lubricants) on blister formation. 3SP samples consist of bonded elastomeric layers that are surrogates for various dermal layers. These layers display ...
