This paper reviews the applications of shear thickening fluids (STF) to enhance the impact resistance behavior of textile materials. The mechanism of shear thickening has been presented in the form of ‘order disorder theory’ and ‘hydrodynamic clustering’. The applications of different shear thickening fluids on fabrics made from high performance fibers and their contribution in improving the impact performance have also been presented in this article.
