Abstract
Shear thickening fluid (STF)-impregnated Kevlar fabric can be used as “Liquid armor” for the protection of weapons and equipment. The concentration of dispersed phase in STF and the fabric structure are important factors that affect the mechanical properties of composites. To obtain the mechanical properties of Kevlar fabric impregnated with STF, nano-sized silicon dioxide particles (SiO2) and Polyethylene glycol were used as dispersing phase and dispersing medium, respectively, by impregnating Kevlar fabrics with 2D planar and three-dimensional (3D) angular interlock structure, fiber-reinforced composite fabrics impregnated with STF with different physical structures were obtained. The results show that the shear thickening behavior of STF is the most obvious when the concentration of STF is 60%. In addition, fabric structure and STF concentration play an active role in the mechanical properties of STF/Kevlar fiber reinforced composites. Compared with pure Kevlar fabric, the maximum tensile load and the maximum puncture load of the three-dimensional angular interlocking structure of STF/Kevlar fiber reinforced composites are increased by more than 13,000 N and 120 N, respectively. The research results can provide theoretical support for the mechanical properties of STF/Kevlar fiber-reinforced composites and individual protection research.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
