Answer 2

Oobleck has been used to manufacture shoes, filling of portholes, making bullet proof vest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oobleck is a non Newtonian fluid which is made from mixture of cornstarch and water. It has both liquid and solid properties. Its act like a liquid when is poured and as a solid when a force act on it. It is a substance that is use in manufacturing shoes. The inside layer of shoes is made of it. It's viscosity increases when there is shear stress. It is use for filling portholes
