Abstract

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
A silica-based (SiO2) shear-thickening fluid (STF) reinforced with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles was systematically examined across a broad range of temperature, shear rate, and applied stress. The TiO2/SiO2system showed a distinct, stress-...
