Thixotropy is a time-dependent shear thinning property. Certain gels or fluids that are thick or viscous under static conditions will flow (become thinner, less viscous) over time when shaken, agitated, …

Thixotropy, reversible behaviour of certain gels that liquefy when they are shaken, stirred, or otherwise disturbed and reset after being allowed to stand. Thixotropy occurs in paint, such as lithopone in oil, …

Thixotropy is the property that explains why personal care products like hair gels and toothpaste are liquid when squeezed out of the tube but recover to their initial solid state afterwards in order to …

Jul 22, 2025 · This behavior, where a substance becomes less viscous and flows more easily when agitated or stirred, and then gradually thickens back to its original state when left undisturbed, is …

Thixotropy is defined as the property of certain gels to become less viscous and flow freely when subjected to force or shaking, allowing them to transition into a sol; when the force ceases, the gel …

thixotropy noun thix· ot· ro· py thik-ˈsä-trə-pē : the property of various gels of becoming fluid when disturbed (as by shaking)

Oct 7, 2025 · Thixotropy is a property of certain materials that causes them to change from a thick, gel-like state to a thinner, more liquid state when they are shaken, stirred, or otherwise disturbed.

Nov 15, 2025 · Thixotropy is a property of certain materials that allows them to change their viscosity, or thickness, depending on how they are treated over time. This phenomenon describes a state where …

SUMMARY introduced for quantifying thixotropy and thixotropic recovery. The users can lect to use either one or multiple methods based on their need. However, since thixotropy is a time dependent …

Thixotropy is a time-dependent shear thinning property. Certain gels or fluids that are thick or viscous under static conditions will flow (become thinner, less viscous) over time when shaken, agitated, …
