Optimization of shear thickening fluid encapsulation technique and dynamic response of encapsulated capsules and polymeric composite

In this work, shear thickening fluid (STF) was fabricated and encapsulated by using three different encapsulation methods for the first time. The mechanical properties of individual STF capsules were investigated to obtain optimal encapsulation method and formula. Much more energy can be absorbed fo...

description In this work, shear thickening fluid (STF) was fabricated and encapsulated by using three different encapsulation methods for the first time. The mechanical properties of individual STF capsules were investigated to obtain optimal encapsulation method and formula. Much more energy can be absorbed for STF capsules during impact than that of quasi-static compression. The introduction of ultraviolet (UV) curable resin can significantly improve the static strength of STF capsule and thus enhance the handleability of STF capsule. The STF capsules synthesized through the two-step polymerization method show an elastic shell which can stand multiple impacts without any damage. This STF capsule possesses higher static strength and absorbs more strain energy than capsules synthesized through the other two methods. Furthermore, incorporation of the STF capsules into silicone gel enhances the energy absorption capacity of matrix material up to 71.3%.
