Abstract
There is provided a novel a non-toxic self-adhesive shear thickening dilatant fluid and process for the formation thereof comprising the sequential steps of forming a gel comprising a first portion of starch and water and adding a sufficient second portion of dry non-toxic solid material to said gel to form a kneadable solid which is dry to the touch. In particular it is directed to a material whose base is corn starch.
