Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are a shear thickening fluid (STF) comprising solid particles and a dispersion medium, wherein the solid particles comprise silica particles as a first component and carbon nanoparticles as a second component and a method for preparing a shear thickening fluid, comprising mixing silica particles, a dispersion medium for silica particles, and a carbon nanoparticle dispersion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A shear thickening fluid (STF) comprising solid particles and a dispersion medium, wherein the solid particles comprise silica particles as a first component and carbon nanoparticles as a second component. 2 . The shear thickening fluid of claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanoparticles are graphene oxide nanoparticles. 3 . The shear thickening fluid of claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanoparticles are graphene or graphite oxide nanoparticles. 4 . The shear thickening fluid of claim 1 , wherein the silica particles are fumed silica particles. 5 . The shear thickening fluid of claim 4 , wherein the fumed silica particles have a bimodal particle size distribution. 6 . The shear thickening fluid of claim 1 , wherein the dispersion medium is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol. 7 . A method for preparing a shear thickening fluid, comprising mixing silica particles, a dispersion medium for silica particles, and a carbon nanoparticle dispersion. 8 . The method of claim 7 , comprising: stirring the carbon nanoparticle dispersion and a dispersion medium; drying the stirred material under reduced pressure to remove water and other solvent, thereby preparing the dispersion medium for silica particles; and adding silica particles to the prepared dispersion medium for silica particles, followed by mixing. 9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the carbon nanoparticle dispersion is used in an amount of 5-20 wt % based on the total weight of the shear thickening fluid. 10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the carbon nanoparticle dispersion is used in an amount of 10-15 wt % based on the total weight of the shear thickening fluid. 11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the concentration of the carbon nanoparticle dispersion is 0.01-2%. 12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the concentration of the carbon nanoparticle dispersion is 0.03-1%. 13 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the silica particles are used in an amount of 5-20 wt % based on the total weight of the shear thickening fluid, and the carbon nanoparticles are used in an amount of 10-15 wt % based on the total weight of the shear thickening fluid. 14 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the silica particles are fumed silica particles, and the carbon nanoparticles are graphene oxide nanoparticles. 15 . A shock-absorbing material containing the shear thickening fluid of claim 1 .
