Non-Newtonian fluids are fluids whose viscosity changes under stress or strain. Unlike Newtonian fluids, which have a constant viscosity regardless of the applied force, non-Newtonian fluids can behave like solids or liquids depending on the conditions, making them unique in various applications.
Shear thickening is a phenomenon observed in certain non-Newtonian fluids where the viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain. This behavior can lead to interesting applications, such as in protective gear, where the material remains flexible under normal conditions but becomes rigid upon impact.
