TL;DR: Control studies show that friction blisters rank high as causes of military disability, and the instruments and information now available permit comparison of the friction-producing properties of different fabrics, materials, foot-wear and other gear and also of the susceptibility to friction blistering of different individuals and sites.
Abstract: : Friction blisters rank high as causes of military disability. Controlled studies show that: Friction blisters are not burns but are due to shearing forces within the epidermis. These produce a cleft into which fluid passes, provided there is a sufficient pressure gradient from blood vessels and tissue fluid; friction blister fluid contains most of the proteins of the blood serum but in lesser concentrations; drainage of intact blisters at 24 to 36 hours, leading to firm reattachment of the top, forms a serviceable dressing; in military situations most blisters will be encountered with their tops torn off. Then a good dressing can be made by applying a selected cyano-acrylate which forms an artificial top; friction blisters can be produced on monkey paws; the instruments and information now available permit comparison of the friction-producing properties of different fabrics, materials, foot-wear and other gear; and also of the susceptibility to friction blistering of different individuals and sites.

TL;DR: In this article, the morphology of blisters formed in monocrystalline and polycrystalline niobium samples under 0.5 −MeV 4He−ion impact at 900°C was studied.
Abstract: The morphology of blisters formed in monocrystalline and polycrystalline niobium samples under 0.5‐MeV 4He‐ion impact at 900°C has been studied. For the irradiated monocrystalline samples, the results reveal that the shape and size of the observed blisters are highly dependent on channeling conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fissure develops between lead formed from a lead sulfate surface layer and lead in the center of the electrode, pushing the surface layer out to form the blister.
Abstract: Charging of a lead-acid battery sometimes leads to formation of blisters on the anode. The mechanism of this process was investigated. It was found that a fissure develops between lead formed from a lead sulfate surface layer and lead in the center of the electrode. Hydrogen trapped in this fissure pushes the surface layer out to form the blister. Blistering can be eliminated in low concentrations of electrolyte. (RWR)

TL;DR: In this paper, the development and pilot production of an improved blister sheet and pouched overwrapper package for the iodine water purification tablet is described, which is fabricated from a fluorohalocarbon film containing 12 tablets with each tablet isolated by heat sealed gridwork.
Abstract: : The development and pilot production of an improved blister sheet and pouched overwrapper package for the iodine water purification tablet is described. The blister sheets are fabricated from a fluorohalocarbon film containing 12 tablets with each tablet isolated by a heat sealed gridwork. A pressure sensitive label adheres to each blister sheet. This label is fabricated so that use instructions are on one side and a tablet gray color match is on the adhesive side to act as a tablet potency indicator. The pouch overwrapper is fabricated from a laminated film of Mylar- aluminum foil polyolefin and is designed to contain two blister sheets. Three major shortcomings of the initial flexible package have been corrected. The excessive amount of moisture entrapped within the labels when the blister sheets were sealed in the pouch has been eliminated by predrying the labeled blister sheets in a desiccant prior to pouching. Weak heat seals existing around corner blisters have been corrected by redesigning the blister sheet heat sealing tray to include larger sealing elements, installation of legs on the lower half of the tray for localized pressure application, and addition of ventilation holes to dispel residual heat buildup. High production cost primarily resulting from excessive fluorohalocarbon film scrap rate has been eliminated by modifying blister forming mold.
