Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1977 To gain a more fundamental understanding of the frictional properties of skin, various parameters (hydration, oils, surfactants, etc) affecting skin friction were evaluated using a rotational friction technique. The rotational device utilized a motor-driven wheel.

Wax-oil lubricants to reduce the shear between skin and PPE
Scientific Reports, 2021 Prolonged use of tight-fitting PPE, e.g., by COVID-19 healthcare workers leads to skin injuries. An important contributor is the shear exerted on the skin due to static friction at the skin-PPE interface.
