Abstract
A skin-mimicking device includes a body and a plurality of conduits defining a plurality of fluid paths to an outer surface of the body. The skin-mimicking device is configured to simulate various skin perspiration conditions by controlling a flow rate of a sweat mimicking fluid through the plurality of conduits as well as simulate the mechanical properties of skin by tuning a composition of the body.
Claims14
A skin-mimicking device, comprising:
- a body;
- a backing layer attached to the body, wherein a sweat mimicking fluid is supplied to the backing layer;
- and
- a plurality of conduits defining a plurality of fluid paths to an outer surface of the body;
- wherein the skin-mimicking device is configured such that the sweat mimicking fluid flows through the plurality of conduits as the backing layer becomes saturated with the fluid, wherein the skin-mimicking device is configured to simulate various skin perspiration conditions and/or various physical skin conditions, wherein the skin-mimicking device is configured to control a fluid flow rate through the plurality of conduits to provide the various skin perspiration conditions.
