The development of barriers that can absorb the energy of the impact and, therefore, protect the other side of the impact is the ideal solution for the pointed situation. Auxetic materials and shear thickening fluids are two types of technologies that have great capabilities to absorb high levels of energy when an impact happens. Accordingly, within this study, the combination of auxetic knits with shear thickening fluids by the pad-dry-cure process was investigated. It was observed that, by applying knits with auxetic patterns produced with denser materials and combined with the shear thickening fluids, high performance in terms of absorbed energy from puncture impact is obtained. The increment rates obtained are higher than 100% when comparing the structures with and without shear thickening fluids.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14102065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,20]],"date-time":"2022-05-20T00:18:11Z","timestamp":1653005891000},"page":"2065","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Low-Velocity Impact Response of Auxetic Seamless Knits Combined with Non-Newtonian Fluids"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2584-9900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00e2nia","family":"Pais","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fibrenamics, Institute of Innovation on Fiber-Based Materials and Composites, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"},{"name":"Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T), University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fibrenamics, Institute of Innovation on Fiber-Based Materials and Composites, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"},{"name":"Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T), University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0950-4961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Bessa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fibrenamics, Institute of Innovation on Fiber-Based Materials and Composites, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"},{"name":"Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T), University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Hern\u00e2ni","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Playvest-Nextil Group Sports Division, Rua das Austr\u00e1lias, 4705-3226 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Helena","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Playvest-Nextil Group Sports Division, Rua das Austr\u00e1lias, 4705-3226 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1566-3566","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fibrenamics, Institute of Innovation on Fiber-Based Materials and Composites, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"},{"name":"Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T), University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3303-6563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raul","family":"Fangueiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fibrenamics, Institute of Innovation on Fiber-Based Materials and Composites, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"},{"name":"Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T), University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"50","article-title":"Low velocity and high velocity impact test on composite materials\u2014A review","volume":"3","author":"Safri","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int.
