Abstract

As a non-Newton fluid, shear thickening fluid (STF) with its unique rheological properties of liquid-solid mutual conversion receives significant attention in scientific community.In recent years,application of STF in anti-impact and cushion areas becomes a research hotspot.But, STF’s shear thickening mechanism and control of rheological performance need further exploration.The industrialization production of shear thickening equipment and effective development of related devices are the difficulty of research and challenging.Here, reviewing and analyzing STF’s shear thickening mechanism and performance were focused on,and the latest studying progress about STF’s application in anti-impact and cushion areas was summarized and reviewed to provide an inspiration for the development of new anti-impact andcushion materials.
