中文摘要:
      In this investigation, the hard-to-handle shear thickening fluid (STF) is successfully encapsulated for easy handling and re-processing in the application of promising impact resistant material. Double-walled macroscopic STF capsules are synthesized using a convenient process by instilling the diluted STF droplets into reaction solution. The obtained STF capsules show significant shear thickening response to dynamic impact in comparison to quasi-static compression in terms of 154 times higher absorbed nominal strain energy. This innovative method opens a new window to design and manufacture versatile impact resistant materials and structures.
