Abstract

In order to measure the thermal properties of biological materials simply and precisely, photoacoustic method, which is one of non-contact and non-destructive techniques for measuring thermophysical properties of various materials, is applied to human skin. A newly developed open-type cell is introduced to make an acoustic chamber. The cell possesses a cylindrical chamber with one end open and is completed by sealing with human skin. Comparisons of experimental data with theoretical calculations ensure that reasonable values of skin′s thermal effusivity are able to be obtained. The values measured from 6 persons show that there are some differences in thermal effusivity among individuals and parts.
