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 …

With increasing international and civilian conflicts, developing advanced body armor has
become an emerging field in academia and industry. Nanotechnology, by means of …

To solve the problem of insufficient protective performance of the existing body armor, an
impact-resistant shear stiffening gel (SSG) with excellent flexibility and formability was …

Next-generation intelligent body armor requires high anti-impact performance, low weight,
flexibility, and integration with multifunctional wearable devices. Shear stiffening gel (SSG) …

Besides resistance to stab and impact, good flexibility and lightweight, soft body armors are
also desired to have capabilities of monitoring human physical state, maintaining body …

This study presents the dynamic stab resistance and quasi-static mechanical properties of
soft armor materials constructed with Kevlar fabric impregnated with a novel shear …

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 …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

Herein, a multifunctional polyurethane (PU) composite foam with a hierarchical structure is
fabricated by dip-coating a carbon nanotube/shear-thickening gel (CNT/STG) and spray …

Cork products have an increasing demand for vibration damping systems due to their good
vibration isolation behavior as well as eco-friendly and sustainable properties. In this work …
