Topographical and Tribological Characteristics of Asian Human Hair Cuticles [PDF]
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2015 The topography and frictional force of Asian black male and female hair cuticles at different locations are determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and friction force microscopy (FFM). The frictional values, mapped for comparison with surface morphology, corresponded qualitatively with the structures’ plane surface characteristics.
