The application of tribology is not just limited to mechanical components of engineering systems. As a matter of fact, the understanding of friction and wear can be applied to everyday life. One of the important fields is skin tribology, as human skin interacts with various surfaces of different materials. This paper focuses on the friction behavior of the skin when in contact with the fabric and other materials in relative motion. The excessive friction at the fabric-skin interface may lead to discomfort, blistering, chafing, and pressure ulcers especially in athletes who experience higher friction due to rapid movement for an extended period. Other than understanding the fabric properties, it is equally important to understand the structure and properties of the skin to evaluate its function and interaction with the different fabric materials. The identification of the contributing factors of skin friction can help to design suitable fabric materials. An overview of skin functions and the factors that affect the friction on the skin-textile material interface are presented in this review article.
摩擦学的应用并不局限于工程系统的机械部件。事实上，对摩擦和磨损的理解可以应用于日常生活。重要领域之一是皮肤摩擦学，因为人类皮肤会与各种不同材料的表面相互作用。本文重点关注皮肤在与织物及其他处于相对运动状态的材料接触时的摩擦行为。织物 - 皮肤界面处的过度摩擦可能会导致不适、起泡、擦伤和压疮，尤其是在运动员中，他们由于长时间快速运动而经历更高的摩擦。除了了解织物特性外，了解皮肤的结构和特性对于评估其功能以及与不同织物材料的相互作用同样重要。识别皮肤摩擦的影响因素有助于设计合适的织物材料。本文综述介绍了皮肤功能以及影响皮肤 - 纺织材料界面摩擦的因素。
