Even though natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) have been widely used
in automotive and building industries, there is still a room to promote them to high-level …

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 …

Ballistic impact mechanism is a very complex mechanical process mainly depends on the
thickness, strength, ductility, toughness and density of the target material and projectile …

The damage of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite materials induced by impact load
is one of the most critical factors that restrict extensive use of these materials. The behavior …

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 …

This study presents the response of fiber reinforced composite material composed of woven
Kevlar fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (STF) under high velocity …

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 …

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

In materials science, high performance is typically associated with regularity and order,
while disorder and the presence of defects are assumed to lead to sub-optimal outcomes …

The role of shear thickening fluid (STF) in enhancing the impact resistance of STF treated
fabrics has long been debated. There is a need to clarify whether the dominant mechanism …
