Abstract
In the present work, we produced a kind of smart material, which is one of shear stiffening gels. To understand the effect of manufacturing process on the stiffening behavior, two different mixing procedures were used in the synthesizing process. In the first sample, manual mixing procedure was used while the second sample was produced by mixing the sample with a homogenizer. According to the results, mixing stage is significantly important on the stiffening properties of shear stiffening gels.
