This study analyses the dynamic mechanical properties and behaviour of pure shear-stiffening gel (SSG) and evaluates its potential for sports protective equipment (SPE). The SSG, polyborondimethylsiloxane (PBDMS), was tested at three different types of velocities ranges, (a) low; (b) medium; (c) hig...
