Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rate-sensitive protective apparel including an outer fabric shell, first and second sealing material layers positioned within the outer fabric shell, and a shear thickening fluid core disposed between the first and second sealing material layers is provided. The sealing material layers have fibers extending towards the apparel interior and enmeshing the shear thickening fluid core, and the shear thickening fluid directly contacts with the sealing material and the fibers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A rate-sensitive protective apparel comprising: an outer fabric shell; a first sealing material layer positioned within the outer fabric shell; a second sealing material layers positioned within the outer fabric shell; and a shear thickening fluid core disposed between the first and second sealing material layers, wherein the first and second sealing material layers have fibers extending towards an apparel interior and enmeshing the shear thickening fluid core, and the shear thickening fluid core comprises a shear thickening fluid and the shear thickening fluid directly contacts the first sealing material layer and its fibers and the second sealing material layer and its fibers; and wherein the outer fabric shell has a width greater than the first sealing material layer, the second sealing material layer, and the shear thickening fluid core. 2 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sealing material layers have been treated with a coupling agent selected from 3-triethoxysilylpropyl isocyanate and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. 3 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sealing material layers have been treated with 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate. 4 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein each of the fibers has a length ranging from 1 to 12 mm. 5 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein the fibers have a density on the first and second sealing material layers ranging from 1 to 20 per cm 2 . 6 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein the shear thickening fluid core comprises nanoparticles or nanowires suspended in a polyethylene glycol. 7 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 6 , wherein a mass ratio of the nanoparticles or nanowires and the polyethylene glycol ranges from 1:1 to 2.5:1. 8 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sealing material layers are selected from silicone, latex, neoprene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, EPDM rubber, and a combination thereof. 9 . The rate-sensitive protective apparel of claim 1 , wherein the outer fabric shell is an elastic fabric.
