“…The force-displacement curve and the microstructure diagram demonstrated that the properties of particles influenced the stab resistance properties of fabrics. Moreover, it was reported the STFs also highly affected the friction between fabric yarns [17,[21][22][23][24].…”

“…The viscosity and shear thickening efficiency of STFs rely on the hydrodynamic lubrication force [29][30][31][32], which is influenced by the material, size, and volume fraction of the nanoparticles [7,20]. Currently, some methods have been developed to improve the traditional nanoparticle based STF by adding nanoscale additives [33], such as carbon nanotubes [34,35], SiC nanowires [36], and nano-clays [37]. Moreover, Laha A. et al [35] showed an obvious improvement in impact resistance of fabric impregnated with silica-Hal nanotube compounded STF compared to the pure STF.…”

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences -Papers: Part B. 1576. Abstract AbstractThe ballistic performance of Kevlar fabric impregnated with different shear thickening fluids (STFs) were investigated at various impact velocities. The SiO 2 nanoparticle based STFs were reinforced with graphene and showed a significant increase in viscosity and shear thickening efficiency compared to pure STF. Ballistic experiments were performed on fabric treated by different STFs, and different failure modes including yarn slipping, extraction, and breakage in shear failure were obtained. To better understand how different STFs affect ballistic performance, single yarn pull-out tests were also carried out to examine the shear strength and friction between the interlocking yarns of fabric treated with STF. The results showed that STF reinforced with graphene is better at preventing the yarns from slipping, and the single yarn pullout force is almost 5 times more than pure STF. Moreover, reinforced STF also has a significant influence on the ballistic limit and energy absorption of Kevlar fabrics. And the increased amplitude of energy absorption is almost 20% more than the pure STF/Kevlar load case. Combining with the energy absorption and different failure modes, the effect of STF on the failure mechanism of neat/treated fabric was also discussed.

“…This is especially true when the ultrasonicator power amplitude was increased from 20 to 60% and the sonication time was increased from 5 to 7 h. Another example is that the shear‐thickening behavior is extremely sensitive to the filler loading. Many studies investigated the effect of <0.5 wt% nanoparticles such as clay , carbon nanotubes , cellulose nanofibers , silicon carbide , and zinc oxide on the shear‐thickening behavior of STF. In most cases, the shear‐thickening behavior significantly changed even in the presence of 0.1 wt% nanoparticles.…”

High‐velocity impact performance of shear‐thickening fluid/kevlar composites made by the padding process

et al. 2018

Padding is known to enhance the dyeing of fabric. In this study, shear‐thickening fluid (STF)/multilayer Kevlar composites were constructed through a padding process. This paper describes the padding process used, and discusses the ballistic impact and stab resistance of the resulting composites. Padding STF into Kevlar fabric is better than impregnation. The resulting composites are thinner, lighter, and more flexible than conventional Kevlar body armor, while providing similar protection. Previous studies have shown that padding improves the low‐velocity impact resistance of single‐layer Kevlar. This study demonstrates that padding also improves the high‐velocity impact performance of STF/multilayer Kevlar composites. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:3040–3049, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers
