Skin is an important organ which provides multiple functions. Thus, if skin fails i.e. due to burns or diseases, body will lose the protection provided by skin against infections and the harmful outer environment. Due to that, synthetic skin is seen as a very important alternative in the future. A number of studies have been carried out to understand skin’s basic functions and behaviour as its mechanical properties and behaviour are important in various fields. Nevertheless, to date no breakthrough has been reported. Therefore, this paper aims to briefly review and outline a framework which ultimately will lead to the synthesising silicone-hydrogel materials that potentially becoming a skin substitute. The newly synthesised composite materials will be tested mechanically to characterise its behaviour based on Ogden hyperelastic model. It could be emphasised that the present study is significant and will contribute to the body of knowledge in the area of skin mechanics.

Skin Fragility

AbstractThe skin of the Central Asian gecko Teratoscincus scincus is extremely fragile, with low tensile strength, stiffness and toughness. As in other geckos exhibiting regional integumentary loss, skin fragility results from the bilayering of the dermis and the intrinsic weakness of its outer layer. Collagen fibers of the outer portions of the dermis are nearly discontinuous in the hinge regions of the large, imbricate, cycloid scales of this species. The ecological significance of these findings is discussed.
