Abstract
This study evaluates methods of measuring the adhesion distribution between a hygiene mask and an individual’s face from the viewpoints of distance and pressure. In one of our experimental methods, a dental probe was used to measure the distances between the mask surface and a dummy’s facial surface. In another method, the pressures between the mask sheet and the dummy face were measured using a hydrostatic pressure-balanced method. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between distance and pressure. From the results of these two experimental methods, it was determined that observed distance distributions can be used to comprehensively explore the information of the fit performance. In the near future, blocking the air-gap path between the external environment to wearer’s nose and mouth could enhance prevention effects.
