Quantification of Human Sensation Induced by Bright Nickel Plating

摘要

A process for quantifying the effects of plated surfaces on human sensations was investigated, as it applied to bright nickel plating. Semantic differential process was used for the purpose. Nine kinds of plated specimens (concepts) were made in Watts baths containing saccharin sodium and coumarin. Those specimens were arranged on a board and served for the questionnaire which was constituted of four pairs of adjective antonyms.
