What would happen, if a bomb was detonated inside a non newtonian fluid. Would it break?

Question

Non newtonian fluids can reorganize their atomic structure if exposed to stress forces.

Would it be a better defense against an explosion than a solid cover?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

Non-Newtonian fluids arent magically “stronger” than solids, they just act weird. They still break the same as everything else, they just sometimes act like a solid, and sometimes like a liquid.
