Thixotropy is a decrease in the apparent viscosity under shearing, followed by a gradual recovery when the shear is removed. The effect is time dependent. If the viscosity reduces and immediately ...

A single frequency oscillation test at constant stress is used to measure structure rebuild after a pre-shear. The pre-shear is normally a constant shear rate. The value is determined directly from ...

Packaging of a number of consumer products is done in tubes or bottles wherein product application involves pumping the product through a nozzle. These products are basically shear-thinning products ...

Professor Howard Barnes provides an overview of thixotropy in this webinar, including its description, measurement, and importance across various industries and applications. Different examples of ...

Thixotropy is a lesser-known but crucial material property in modern manufacturing. Derived from the Greek words thixis (touch) and tropos (turning), it refers to materials that temporarily lose ...

A new method of describing thixotropy in waxy crude oil transported through pipelines is both accurate and more convenient than previous methods. Thixotropy is an important rheological behavior of ...

A DISCUSSION on the subjects of dilatancy and thixotropy, arranged jointly by the Faraday Society and the British Rheologists' Club, was held on December 10 at the rooms of the Royal Society of Arts.

Chapman and Newell 1 have recently published the following argument : (1) Lugworms can burrow into a particular beach whether covered by sea-water or not. The total downward thrust which a worm can ...
