Inorganic non-Newtonian fluids
Inorganic non-Newtonian fluids
(OP)
Hello,
We're working on an application which we believe the behavior of a non-Newtonian fluid which becomes rigid when under stress. It needs to be inorganic so it won't spoil and as I understand it there are silicone polymers or oils which meet this criteria. Any other such fluid would be good to consider as well.
Any help pointing me in the right direction towards a supplier and identifying a readily available product on the market would be appreciated.
Thank you.

B.E.
You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If it does return to shape then, by definition, it is not a fluid. You cannot solve a problem that you haven't defined.

I'll see what I can find under "dilatant fluids".
Thanks again.
