Surface properties and haptic perception of soft surfaces — •Denys Zimin¹, Kristin Schmidt¹, Meik Ranft², Margit Harsch³, Jan Sandler³, Volker Altstädt³, and Georg Krausch¹ — ¹Physikalische Chemie II, Universität Bayreuth, Universitätsstrasse 30, 95447 Bayreuth, Germany — ²BASF AG, 67056 Ludwigshafen, Germany — ³Polymere Werkstoffe, Universität Bayreuth, Universitätsstrasse 30, 95447 Bayreuth, Germany

We study the physical properties of various polymer and leather surfaces (roughness, hydrophobicity, deformability, elasticity and morphology), aiming towards an objective measure of haptic perception of these surfaces by test persons. The surfaces are characterized by subjective evaluations (smooth/rough, waxy, sticky, pleasant/unpleasant, dry, etc). Correlations between the subjective evaluations and the physical properties are discussed.
