...Peter Eisner; Dorothea Wilhelm; Howard I. Maibach The dynamic friction coefficient between skin and a Teflon probe and its correlation with age, body weight, height, transepidermal water loss and skin capacitance was studied in vulvar and forearm skin of 44 healthy female volunteers. The friction...

.... In this experiment, we measured accumulation of unbound water that occurred when occlusive contact was maintained during a short period of time between the skin and the probe head of an electrometric device. Accumulation of unbound water was expressed as area under the curve (sum of increments of skin capacitance...

... : Functional characteristics of the skin in subjects with allergic asthma and/or rhinitis were studied using evaporimetry, capacitance and pH metry. Data were compared to those of healthy subjects and patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Results and Conclusions : Our results suggest that the skin of patients...

... of the forehead was observed in these volunteers. The present data suggest a protective effect of regular sauna on skin physiology, especially surface pH and stratum corneum water-holding capacity.

... assessed a recently introduced innovative tool (SkinChip ® ) based on capacitive pixel-sensing technology in its potential to detect early discrete manifestations of skin irritation. The sensor generates a detailed non-optical picture corresponding to a capacitance map of the skin surface reaching 50 µm...
