Listen in on a discussion of the successful formation, unique properties and evolving development of commercial applications of shear thickening fluids (STFs). Learn how STFs are novel field-responsive materials that can be re-engineered to be useful nanocomposites. See how they are being used for enhanced ballistic and impact protection, puncture resistant medical gloves, and energy-absorbing materials for mitigating impacts and concussions. Take a look at their applications in systems for mitigating micro-meteoroid and orbital debris threats in space applications. In one hour, gain a better understanding of the versatility of STFs and a deeper appreciation of their future usefulness in our society.
Take a look at your agenda:
- What STFs are and how they function
- How to integrate STFs into nanocomposites for enhanced ballistic and puncture resistance
- Using STFs for impact protection and concussion mitigation
- How STFs are being used to mitigate threats in space
