Abstract
Shear thickening fluid (STF) is a kind of non-Newtonian material that shows a quick jump in its viscosity upon loading. The viscosity change is a reversible process so that fluid viscosity turns to initial level by removing the loading from the medium. This unique behavior provides a good opportunity to gain smart properties for STF-based systems.
