Zusammenfassung:A composite material with an elastic modulus of less than 0.1 MPa at 100% elongation including a polymer matrix and a non-Newtonian fluid is provided. The composite material may be employed in shock and impact absorption applications to reduce initial and shockwave acceleration forces. Methods of forming the composite material and reducing acceleration forces in an impact utilizing the composite material are also provided.
