Sensory softness is a measure of:
Surface softnessSmoothness, friction
Bulk softnessA measure of compressibility – complex stresses
Warmth
Therefore physical measurements should aim to measure these properties

‘In house’ sensory panel evaluation
Soft touch materials ranked and also graded on a scale of 1 to 10 for:
• Warmth
• Roughness
• Compressibility (hardness)
• Flexibility
• Moistness
• Tackiness/stickiness
• Friction
• Feeling ‘nice’
• Most suitable for use in a face mask
• Most suitable for use in a screwdriver handle

Sensory test conditions
• 5 samples – washed and dried
• Assessments carried out in near darkness
• Thermally equilibrated samples
• Subjects washed and dried hands prior to assessment
Issues
• No time limit for assessment – issue for thermal assessment?
• Sample geometry

Factors affecting perceived warmth of a material
Contact time – importance depends on use of materialType of interface – ‘interfacial humidity’Contact area and pressureSize of heat source (e.g. finger, hand, face) compared with sample Material surface characteristics - roughnessSample thickness Thermal properties of sample and underlying substrate Sample porosity
