Article history: The present work studied the influence of silane coupling agent in non-Newtonian fluid,
Received 15 March 2019 in the impact resistance, adhesion and flexibility results. The results of stab performance
Accepted 9 July 2019 for Kevlar samples impregnated with silane agent showed results significantly higher than

of siloxane bonds due to the coupling agent. The impact resistance properties of all sam-

Shear thickening fluids to verify the influence of silane agent of the resistance adhesive of non-Newtonian fluid
under samples. The Kevlar samples impregnated with STF and coupling silane presented
best flexibility (angle of bending = 30.33◦ ), a significant increase on the dissipation kinetic
(penetration depth) in comparing to the others and resistance adhesive of non-Newtonian
fluid under samples. Therefore, practically this property remained unalterable in relation to
Kevlar samples with STF and Kevlar control.
