d3o is a dilatant material commonly used for impact protection. It was developed by the British chemical engineering company d3o Lab. d3o Lab was founded by Richard Palmer and specialises in creating unique polymers for impact protection.
This lightweight material is very flexible and malleable, until subjected to abrupt force, making it useful in protective clothing in situations where the wearer may be exposed to blunt trauma.
The material has been used in the production of protective garments used by US and Canadian skiers during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
