Statistical approach on the inter-yarn friction behavior of the dual-phase STF/ρ-Aramid impregnated fabrics via factorial design and 3D-RSM

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) refer to non-Newtonian of the dilatant variety, wherein their viscosity experiences a significant surge with an escalation in shear rate. In this investigative work, friction behavior between yarns (pull-out) and absorption static kinetic energy during phenomenon STFs are performed by monophase (MP-STF) adding nano SiO2 dual-phase carbon nanotubes. The ρ-Aramid fabrics were reinforced via “foulard process”, carried out on MP-STF, DP-STF/ρ-Aramid-impregnated evaluate compare enhancement interfacial properties yarns. results showed that DP-STF has more than MP-STF ultimate load, stress, level effects. exhibits various mechanisms at yarn interface, leading higher related friction, as indicated obtained. Furthermore, DP-STF/ρ-Aramid impregnated exhibited load (22.23 ± 0.522 N), stress (35.73 0.850 MPa*100), (36.28 0.900 (610.33 0.250). Increased (581.7% 180.7%), (621.4% 174.6%), (550.5% 159.1%), (680.2 186.7%) compared WT-STF respectively. current discoveries hold immense potential for applications fields engineering smart material technologies. These span multiplicity industries, including sports products, medical advancements, space technology, well protective shielding products.
