Abstract
A brief discussion of body armour is provided in the current work, with a focus on the use of shear thickening fluid and the technological issues that prevent its widespread adoption. This paper first discusses the many categories of body armour. Furthermore, several methods for improvising energy absorption for body armour have been offered, along with assessment requirements for bullet-resistant jackets. The review covers the components of sheer thickening fluid as well as how it is incorporated into the fabric. Shear thickening fluid (STF) application amplifies the impact. The Kevlar fabric performs better in terms of impact resistance when shear thickening fluid (STF) is applied. Furthermore, several new STF-based applications are presented to illustrate the challenges that still need to be addressed and provide some more deterministic directions for future research.
