Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) exhibit a unique potential for use in widespread range of
applications from mechanical platforms and smart structures to effective protective fabrics …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

Shear thickening liquid (STF) is a reversible phase change material that can realize “liquid-
solid” transformation when subjected to high-speed impact shear, and return to the liquid …

The current study focus on the multi-phase Shear thickening fluid (STF) treated high-strength
fabrics which is an promising material for soft-wall containment casing. Three types of multi …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) have been proven promising in enhancing the anti-impact
performance of woven fabric, which can be incorporated into soft-wall containment casing in …

In order to solve the recycling of the puncture-resistant soft composites, this study constructs
a multiscale self-healing gel-fabric soft composite synergistically toughened by …

The main purpose of body armors is to restrict the ballistic impact (bullet velocity~ 300 to 500
m/s). The conventional rigid body armors are typically consisting of synthetic fibers (SFs) like …

The impact response of polymer spray-coated Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene
(UHMWPE) plain woven fabrics has been studied. Several commercial spray coatings …

The primary objective of this study is to reveal the role of shear-thickening fluids on the low-
speed impact behavior and quasi-static puncture resistance conditions of impregnated p …
