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 …

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 …

Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a
shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be …

Shampoos, paints, cements, and soft body armor that stiffens under impact are just a few of
the materials whose rheology is due to the change in viscosity that occurs when colloidal …

This study reports the ballistic penetration performance of a composite material composed of
woven Kevlar® fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (silica particles …

The viscosity of colloidal suspensions varies with shear rate, an important effect
encountered in many natural and industrial processes. Although this non-Newtonian …

Reversible shear thickening is measured in model colloidal suspensions of silica that exhibit
near hard‐sphere behavior. Flow dichroism measurements and the colloidal stress‐optical …

The non-equilibrium behaviour of concentrated colloidal dispersions is studied using
Stokesian Dynamics, a molecular-dynamics-like simulation technique for analysing …

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 …

In contrast to recent publications suggesting that particle cluster formation alone can play an
important role in the shear thickening flow behavior of concentrated colloidal suspensions …
