The Physics of Fluids
Graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes have wide application prospects in many fields due to their unique micro-morphology. In this work, the surface of graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes was simply modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone to graft them together ...

Onset of shear thickening in a simple fluid
The European Physical Journal E, 2004We report on nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations of the shear-thickening transition in a simple fluid under shear. We relate the shear-thickening transition to the onset of instabilities in the flow profile and to that of dramatic variations in normal stress differences.

Research and Applications of Shear Thickening Fluids
Recent Patents on Materials Science, 2011Shear thickening fluids (STFs) have been studied extensively, and an enormous number of patents have been generated due to their potential for commercial applications. STFs draw continued attention as they are considered possible candidate materials for liquid body armour and sporting protective clothing because of their unique properties.

Thixotropy of MR shear-thickening fluids
Smart Materials and Structures, 2010Particle sedimentation is a key issue of conventional magnetorheological (MR) fluids. We recently fabricated MR shear-thickening fluids (MRSTF), which can work as novel MR fluids without particle settling. This merit of the material against particle settling is attributed to the thixotropy property.

Soft armor materials constructed with Kevlar fabric and a novel shear thickening fluid
Composites Part B: Engineering, 2020This study presents the dynamic stab resistance and quasi-static mechanical properties of soft armor materials constructed with Kevlar fabric impregnated with a novel shear thickening fluid (STF) composed of silica microsphere and ionic liquids (ILs ...

Shear thickening in filled Boger fluids
Journal of Rheology, 2005Shear thickening is studied in suspensions consisting of micrometer sized polystyrene spheres dispersed in Boger fluids. In comparison with available data for suspensions in Newtonian media, shear thickening occurs at much lower volume fractions. Suspensions in normal nonlinear viscoelastic media typically do not display shear thickening at all.

Characterization and Application of Shear Thickening Fluids
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013The shear thickening phenomenon was explained in this paper. The characteristics of shear thickening fluids (STFs), including reversibility and liquid to solid transition at critical shear rate were presented. Also, the applications of STFs for protective clothing and equipment were discussed.

Applications of shear thickening fluids: a review
International Journal of Hydromechatronics, 2018Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a type of non-Newtonian fluids. In the equilibrium state, the STFs are in liquid-state. However, they become solid-state under a sudden strike or impact. And when the strike or impact is removed, the STFs can turn back to their equilibrium properties.

Flow of dilatant (shear‐thickening) fluids
AIChE Journal, 1971AbstractThe conduit laminar flow of dilatant (shear‐thickening) fluids was investigated. It was found that such flow agreed with the Metzner‐Reed (friction factor‐modified Reynolds number) correlation previously verified only for pseudoplastic fluids. The agreement was found to hold even for cases where the flow behavior index was 2.0 or greater, which
