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) are a unique type of fluids that can quickly transform into a
solid-like state when subjected to forces (rate dependent). These fluids are created by …

A thorough and critical review on Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) is presented based on a
literature survey. The rheological properties of STFs are discussed considering many factors …

Polyureas are widely used as protective materials because they have good mechanical
strength, toughness, and strain-rate-dependent behavior. However, the fast reaction …

Shear thickening fluid (STF) treated high performance fabrics have attracted much attention
in the applications of body protection. In order to improve the contribution of STF treatments …

From the crashworthiness of vehicles to the protection of human bodies, energy absorption
of materials has become a challenging issue. In this work, multi-layer composites including …

In this work, shear-stiffening gel (STG) was introduced into shear thickening fluid (STF)-
impregnated-Kevlar® woven fabric (Kevlar/STF) to improve the impact resistance. The STF …

Single-phase shear thickening fluids (STFs) have been extensively investigated in body
protective applications. However, researchers do not have long-standing past experience of …

Personal body armour is one of the most important pieces of equipment to protect human
beings from various critical and fatal injuries. In today's modern world, various organizations …

A critical review on the factors affecting the impact resistance behaviour of soft body armour
is presented here. The effect of several material and structural parameters of fibrous …
