Abstract:Nowadays, safety devices (e.g., helmets, safety barriers, body protectors, etc.) producers are developing and testing innovative smart materials to reach the ever-growing request for higher performances arising from international standards and markets. Shear thickening fluids (STFs) have attracted special attention because of their non-linear mechanical response and high-energy dissipation effectiveness. In particular, within STF, shear thickening gels (STGs), a class of high-molecular-weight and crosslinked p… Show more
