Tactile friction, measured with a finger moving over a surface, is often related to tactile perception [1-3]. A previous study by the authors [3] showed that perceived similarities between coated panels with different embedded beads was related to resulting differences in tactile friction, and that bead composition may be a useful tool for perception delivery in coatings. This new study includes a wider range of beads, investigating the effect of bead properties on tactile friction and perception (attribute intensity rating) by 15 naïve participants. The beads (diameter = 11.2 +/- 0.5 ?m, CV ‹ ...
