Characterization and differentiation of gel-like elastomers and compact silicones in order to realize a sensorial rating

摘要: Abstract Sensorial tests on silicones tackiness perception with naive consumers show that the stickiness sensation can be disturbed by of finger penetration into sample. Indeed a frequent report is non-expert people cannot perceive whether related to material adhesion properties or it penetration. The samples are both elastomers but some gel-like and others compact silicones. We use an experimental device realize indentation in order try differentiate mechanically two apparatus developed laboratory allows characterize study materials. analysis results should allow investigate which parameter influence sensorial tackiness.
