Background
The human nail has a three‐layered structure. Although it would be useful to quantitatively evaluate the changes in deformability of the nail due to various surface treatments, few studies have been conducted.
Methods
The effects of two types of surface treatment—a chemically acting nail softener and a physically acting nail strengthener—on the deformability of human fingernails were...
Background
Human nails play an important role in transmitting force to the fingertips, and their mechanical properties are important indices. The nail has a three‐layered structure consisting of top dorsal, middle intermediate, and under ventral plates, and its internal structure is believed to affect its mechanical properties. However, this has not been investigated in previous studies.
