Study of the knife stab and puncture-resistant performance for shear thickening fluid enhanced fabric (2014, methodology): “Therefore, the STF can be used to improve the body armor which not only makes the soldiers safer but also gives them more freedom of movement.(19) The STF enhanced fabric have taken advantage of the shear thickening properties to improve the ballistic, stab and puncture protective properties.”
An analysis of deformation and energy absorption modes of shear thickening fluid treated Kevlar fabrics as soft body armour materials (2013, background): “One of the significant recent developments [19–26] for improving ballistic performance of soft armors has been the application of shear thickening fluids (STFs) on these fabrics which improves their ballistic effectiveness significantly.”
Development of soft composite materials with improved impact resistance using Kevlar fabric and nano-silica based shear thickening fluid (2014, background): “They found that the spike resistance of Kevlar fabrics increased from 85 N to 573 N after the treatment with the STF [16].”
Ballistic performance of Kevlar fabric impregnated with nanosilica/PEG shear thickening fluid (2019, background): “A lot of research have been c o ducted on the stab resistance and ballistic performance of STF impregnated (STF-treat ed) fabric composite [35, 37-44].”
