Liquid Armor By: Daniel Rey Garza MEEN 3344

Liquid Armor Liquid armor uses a shear thickening fluid made up of hard silica particles suspended in polyethylene glycol. Since it is a liquid, it can be applied to fabrics to increase their strength such as currently existing Kevlar vests. Image of Silica nanoparticles

Properties/Applications Light and flexible. Very deformable. Can withstand a wide range of temperatures. Hardens under sudden application of pressure. Returns to a liquid form after pressure is released.

Comparison Kevlar fabric with shear thickening fluid, after impact by a fragment simulating projectile. Normal Kevlar fabric after impact by a fragment simulating a projectile.

How it works The shear thickening fluid acts similarly to wet cornstarch paste. As you move your finger through it slowly, it will act as a viscous fluid. If you forcefully move your finger, the cornstarch will harden preventing any further movement. After removing your finger, the cornstarch will return to it’s viscous behavior.
