3D printing of silicone elastomers with the direct ink writing (DIW) process has demonstrated
great potential in areas as diverse as flexible electronics, medical devices, and soft robotics …

The viscosity of shear-thickened fluid (STF) undergoes a rapid increase under high loading,
resulting in the formation of a solid-like structure. Importantly, the viscosity of STF returns to …

Smart materials have attracted much attention due to their potential applications. Shear
stiffening polymer is one of smart materials having increasing stiffness under loading …

Abstract 3D printing has shown promise in the development of notable sensing and health
detection devices. Nonetheless, challenges remain in the concurrent development of highly …

Flexible materials with ideally designed structures and properties through direct ink writing
(DIW) offer vast potential for flexible wearable devices, sensors, soft robots, and so on …

Cork composites have shown excellent potential in impact mitigating systems. Their
sustainability greatly surpasses the currently used solutions. In addition, recent advances in …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), as a polymer material with excellent mechanical properties
and flexibility, is widely used in flexible wearable devices, soft robots and other fields …

Ball milling time is an important factor that affects the rheological properties of shear
thickening fluid (STF), which is rarely studied. In this study, SiO 2 particles with a diameter of …

Cavitation has been extensively studied in Newtonian fluids and to a lesser yet significant
degree in shear-thinning fluids. However, cavitation has not been previously investigated in …

In this study, unlike the previous studies focusing merely on high-performance fabrics (ie,
aramid based Twaron, Kevlar) low velocity impact behaviour of neat and shear thickening …
