Shear thickening gel (STG) is a promising substrate used for flexible protective materials,
which has superior dimensional stability without gel side leakage and delamination when …

As destructive power of firearms raises over the years, ballistic armors are in continuous
need of enhancement. For soft armors, this improvement is invariably related to the increase …

This study examines the rheological properties of shear thickening fluid (STF) enhanced by
additives such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) …

To satisfy the ever-increasing demand for better anti-impact performance of personal
protective equipment, a composite foam by incorporating shear thickening gel (STG) with …

A novel high performance multi-walled carbon nano-polyvinylpyrrolidone/silicon-based
shear thickening fluid (MWCNTs-PVP/SiO2-STF), abbreviated and subsequently referred to …

High toughness and high-impact damage resistance fibre-metal hybrid laminate epoxy
composites were prepared and characterized. In this present research, a hybrid fibre-metal …

This study proposes a novel approach to enhance the impact resistance of carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite plates by incorporating an additional layer consisting …

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 …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) have been shown to improve the effectiveness of fabrics used
in soft body armor applications. They are used to increase the puncture and ballistic impact …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) refer to non-Newtonian fluids of the dilatant variety, wherein
their viscosity experiences a significant surge with an escalation in the shear rate. In this …
