👉 A convertible fluid is a versatile, non-Newtonian fluid that can change its viscosity in response to applied stress or shear rate. This unique property allows it to behave as a liquid under low stress, enabling it to flow easily and fill complex spaces, but stiffen or solidify when subjected to higher stress, providing structural support and resistance. This dual behavior makes convertible fluids ideal for applications like soft robotics, adaptive seals, and self-healing materials, where the ability to switch between fluid and solid states is crucial. The fluid's viscosity can be controlled by factors such as temperature, pH, electric fields, or mechanical forces, offering precise control over its properties for specific engineering needs.
