Shear Thickening Liquids in Body Armor Applications
R Senthilkumar
Modern armor materials have been designed not only against puncture which is caused by sharp objects, but also ballistic threats to meet the requirements. To improve the flexibility and reduce the weight of these impact resistant and bullet-proof fabrics by using less layers but as strong as current armors, scientists try to develop liquid armors. Liquid armors are created by impregnating these fabrics with shear thickening fluids (STFs).
