Abstract

Abstract Shear-thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of intelligent material with excellent performance whose viscosity increase sharply with the increase of shear rate or shear stress. However, the synthesis yield of dispersed phase particles is low, and the particle re-dispersion process is challenging for the industrial production of STFs. In this work, through structural design, a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) with typical shear-thickening properties was synthesized for the first time. This synthesis process is conducive to industrial production. The rheological properties of the synthesized WPU at different concentrations, temperatures, and pH were studied using a rheometer. The results showed that the WPU exhibited typical shear-thickening behavior. However, due to the special core–shell structure of the WPU particles, the shear rate has two transition responses to the shear-thickening behavior. With increasing concentration, the shear-thickening performance of the WPU is enhanced, and the critical shear rate is decreased. For the coexistence of Brownian motion and solvation, the rheological curve of the WPU exhibits a complex response to temperature increase; its shear-thickening behavior decreases with rising temperature, but the viscosity first decreases and then increases with temperature. Due to the presence of carboxyl groups on the surface of the WPU particles, its shear-thickening performance shows a strong response to pH. By appropriately adjusting the pH, the viscosity and particle size of the WPU can be increased through the ionization of carboxyl groups, thereby enhancing the shear-thickening behavior.
