Quantification of the real contact area of a finger-pad during sliding using a novel optical coherence tomography system and the influence of skin thickness

Understanding the interaction of skin with surfaces is important as there are many applications where this is important, such as medicine (skin grafts), bioelectronics (sensors, robotic hands, and wearable technology), and consumer products, depending on the grip, dexterity, and feel of the objects....
