“…Shear thickening fluids (STF) are a type of non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity increases drastically as the shear rate or shear stress increases [ 44 ]. The thickening behavior of these fluids is observed in colloidal suspensions composed of solid particles, called dispersed phase, e.g., silica, calcium carbonate, and boron carbide, to mention a few, which are inserted in carrier fluids, called dispersion phase, e.g., water, ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol.…”

As destructive power of firearms raises over the years, ballistic armors are in continuous need of enhancement. For soft armors, this improvement is invariably related to the increase of stacked layers of high-strength fiber fabrics, which potentially restrains wearer mobility. A different solution was created in the early 2000s, when a research work proposed a new treatment of the ballistic panels with non-Newtonian colloidal shear thickening fluid (STF), in view of weight decreasing with strength reinforcement and cost-effective production. Since then, databases reveal a surge in publications generally pointing to acceptable features under ballistic impact by exploring different conditions of the materials adopted. As a result, several works have not been covered in recent reviews for a wider discussion of their methodologies and results, which could be a barrier to a deeper understanding of the behavior of STF-impregnated fabrics. Therefore, the present work aims to overview the unexplored state-of-art on the effectiveness of STF addition to high-strength fabrics for ballistic applications to compile achievements regarding the ballistic strength of this novel material through different parameters. From the screened papers, SiO2, Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 and 400, and Aramid are extensively being incorporated into the STF/Fabric composites. Besides, parameters such as initial and residual velocity, energy absorbed, ballistic limit, and back face signature are common metrics for a comprehensive analysis of the ballistic performance of the material. The overview also points to a promising application of natural fiber fabrics and auxetic fabrics with STF fluids, as well as the demand for the adoption of new materials and more homogeneous ballistic test parameters. Finally, the work emphasizes that the ballistic application for STF-impregnated fabric based on NIJ standards is feasible for several conditions.

Abstract2D fiber reinforced resin matrix composites (2D FRRMC) are widely applied for aerospace, generator blades, and other high‐end equipment manufacturing fields due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, 2D FRRMC will face a variety of complex environments in the service process, and the long‐term complex environment will significantly impact the physical and mechanical properties of 2D FRRMC. It is necessary to understand and analyze the changes of materials during service. A comprehensive review of the research on the effect of hydrothermal aging on the mechanical properties and re‐ drying of 2D FRRMC in recent years was presented in this article, which contains interlaminar shear properties, compression properties, tensile properties, and aging mechanism, etc. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of 2D FRRMC were discussed. These discussions and proposed strategies will enlighten thoughts and offer ways to apply 2D FRRMC in complex environments better, study 2D FRRMC in complex environments, and study the effects of hydrothermal aging on materials in the future.

This study aimed to analyze the influence of the thermal treatment of shear thickening fluids, STFs, on their viscosity. For this purpose, shear thickening fluids based on polypropylene glycols PPG400 and PPG1000 and Aerosil®200 were developed. The shear thickening behavior of obtained fluids was confirmed by using a parallel-plate rheometer. Next, thermogravimetric (TG) analyses were used to characterized thermal stability and weight loss of the STFs at a constant temperature. Finally, the thermal treatment of the STFs obtained was provided using the apparatus developed for this purpose. The received STFs exhibited a very high maximum viscosity up to 15 kPa. The rheology of the STFs measured after thermal treatment indicated that the proposed method allowed the development of STFs with a very high maximum viscosity. The maximum viscosity of the STFs increased twofold when thermal treatment of the STFs at elevated temperature for 210 min was performed. TG confirmed the convergence of the weight loss in the apparatus. Our results show that controlling the thermal treatment of STFs allows STFs to be obtained with high viscosity and a dilatation jump of the STFs by degradation of the liquid matrix.
