Whereas most previous studies have focused on improving the penetration resistance of Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) treated composites, in this study, the dynamic compressive response of single and multi-ply 3 D E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites with the STF matrix was investigated by using a drop-weight low-velocity impact test. The experimental results revealed the STF improved the compressive and cushioning performance of the composites such that with increasing its concentration, further improvement was observed. The five-ply composite containing the STF of 30 wt% silica nanoparticles and 1 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reduced the applied peak force by 56% and 26% compared to a steel plate and five-ply neat samples, respectively. A series of repeated impacts was performed, and it was found that the performance of high-concentration composites is further decreased under this type of loading.

To analyze the effect of nano-solid particles on the mechanical properties of shear thickening fluid (STF) and its Kevlar composite fabric. In this study, nano-silica and polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) were used as dispersed and continuous phases. Nano-graphite and nano-diamond particles were used as additives to prepare STF and Kevlar composite fabric. Study the friction characteristics and rheological characteristics of STF at different temperatures. Explore the STF’s mechanical response under transient high-speed impact conditions through the split Hopkinson pressure bar experiment. The mechanical properties of STF-Kevlar fabric are studied through yarn pull-out test and burst experiments. The experimental results show that the intermolecular repulsive force of STF is enhanced under a high-temperature environment, and shear thickening effect is reduced. Nano-diamond particles strengthen the contact coupling force and contact probability between the particle clusters, so that the maximum viscosity of the system reaches 1679 Pa s, the thickening ratio reaches 318 times, and the rheological properties of the shear thickening fluid are improved. The results of the SHPB experiment show that the STF can complete a dynamic response within a 50–75 µs time range, and the maximum stress can reach 78 MPa. The bullet’s incident kinetic energy is not only transformed into thermal energy and phase change energy of solid-liquid conversion, but also into frictional energy between particles. The mechanical experiments of STF-Kevlar composite fabrics show that the tensile force value of STF5-Kevlar is the largest (10.3 N/13.5 N), and the tensile force of neat Kevlar was the smallest (4.3 N/4.9 N). The maximum bearing capacity (0.3 kN) and absorption energy (51.8 J) of Neat Kevlar are less than those of STF1-Kevlar (3.2 kN, 116.7 J) and STF3-Kevlar (1.9 kN, 88.2 J), and STF5-Kevlar (4.7 kN, 143.3 J). Fabric’s failure mode is converted from partial yarn extraction to overall deformation and rupture of the fabric. Therefore, by changing the solid additives’ parameters, the STF and the composite fabric’s mechanical properties can be effectively controlled, which provides a reference for preparing the STF and fabric composite materials.
