Pseudoplasticity

Demonstration of the mechanism for the property of shear thinning or pseudoplasticity in polyethers. The trigliceride network, A, within the impression material aligns when sheared as with syringing, and B, to achieve a lower viscosity. Once the shear force is removed, the viscosity increases with randomization of the triglyceride network, C.
