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 …

This description of “soft robotics” is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of
a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe …

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 …

Stimuli‐responsive nanoparticle (NP) aggregation plays an increasingly important role in
regulating NP assembly into microscopic superstructures, macroscopic 2D, and 3D …

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

Jamming is a ubiquitous phenomenon that appears in many soft matter systems, including
granular materials, foams, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and cells—when …

Discrete particle simulations are used to study the shear rheology of dense, stabilized,
frictional particulate suspensions in a viscous liquid, toward development of a constitutive …

Particle-based simulations of discontinuous shear thickening (DST) and shear jamming (SJ)
suspensions are used to study the role of stress-activated constraints, with an emphasis on …

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 …
