In Vitro Test Systems for Evaluation of the Physical Properties of the Skin

  • Conference paper
Skin Models

Abstract

Despite several attempts [1–12, 15] to describe the mechanical behaviour of skin by a mathematical model none of them has been proven to be sufficient for evaluation of all properties including the history before measurement and the time-dependence during measurement. Therefore several methods have to be applied to investigate different aspects of biorheology.
