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 …

Shear thickening is a type of non-Newtonian behavior in which the stress required to shear a
fluid increases faster than linearly with shear rate. Many concentrated suspensions of …

Current available shear-thickening fluid (STFs) may suffer from issues such as unsatisfactory
energy dissipation performance and unstable dynamic stability for practical engineering …

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 …

Discontinuous shear thickening (DST) observed in many dense athermal suspensions has
proven difficult to understand and to reproduce by numerical simulation. By introducing a …

Recycling industrial solid waste for mine backfill is one of the best ways to achieve green
production in multiple industries. In this paper, the desulfurization gypsum (DG) as an …

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 …

Flow can induce reversible and irreversible structural changes in dispersions. The analysis
of flow effects on microstructure and rheology remains one of the challenging problems in …

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 …

Research on soft materials, including colloidal suspensions, glasses, pastes, emulsions,
foams, polymer networks, liquid crystals, granular materials, and cells, has captured the …
