Abstract

Abstract: Polyborosiloxane shear-thickening gel (PBS-STG) is an intelligent material that combines shear-thickening properties with high stability. Its unique dynamic cross-linked network structure enables rapid hardening under high-speed impact, effectively absorbing energy and dispersing impact forces, while maintaining softness and lightweight characteristics under static conditions. This article systematically analyzes the molecular structure and properties of polyborosiloxane, as well as the principle of bulletproof and explosion-proof effects, and focuses on exploring its application status in the fields of bulletproof vests, bulletproof armor, explosion-proof glass, explosion-proof clothing, explosion-proof containers, and shields. By integrating the latest research advances, this study also summarizes existing technical bottlenecks and future development directions, providing insights for the design of high-performance protective materials.

Key words: polyborosiloxane, shear-thickening gel, bulletproof and explosion-proof, self-healing, energy absorption, lightweighting, composites
