Abstract
Materials science is a constantly evolving and fascinating world, where innovations converge to create solutions for many of the challenges and applications. In recent years, shear thickening fluids (STFs) have emerged as a remarkable class of materials with unique properties and a wide range of practical uses. The concept of shear thickening, or the sudden increase in the viscosity of a fluid under stress, has been the subject of scientific inquiry for centuries. Shear thickening behavior has paved the way for STF integration into smart systems, which are characterized by their ability to adapt and respond intelligently to external stimuli.
