The impact on the stab resistance of complex shear thickening fluids treated nonwovens

By introducing the idea of match,shear thickening fluid(STF) was prepared in several kinds and the different kinds of STF were compound with ultra high molecular weight polyethylene non-woven fabrics.The pattern and performance of the compound fabric were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and static stab resistant experiment.The paper mainly studied the impact in stab-resistant performance of the non-woven fabrics which were treated by complex STF with different molecular weight(PEG200,PEG600).It can be found that the performance of treated fabric with different molecular weight dispersed media is better than the one with single molecular weight.It also shows that the complex STF could improve the performance of stab resistance to a certain extent.The penetration strength was enhanced by 7.13% with the same unit mass in this paper.
