Hi Nikola
very interesting research, thanks!
Quick question: I was asking myself whether a certain characteristic is to be seen as positive or not. I guess it depends on the use-case? So for example friction is comparably low for bioplastic which can be a beneficial or not depending on how you want to use it? But it would be interesting how the panel evaluated this low friction for instance. Did they find it appealing? Or is this question covered by the feature “haptic quality impression”?
thank you for your interest and your questions.
Basically, as you said, the influence of individual characteristics depends on the use case. Especially in connection with functional surfaces, objective and less subjective, sensory characteristics naturally become the focus of attention again. In the context of this study, however, we considered the perception of the materials independently of geometry and intended use. I also find the approach very interesting to investigate whether bioplastics are even better suited for certain applications due to their properties (for example friction).
As you pointed out correctly, we wanted to consider the appeal centrally via the impression of quality. In the next step, we will focus on correlation analyses and investigate which characteristics have a particular influence on the quality judgment.
