Kayma gerilimi arttırıldıkça viskozitenin azaldığı, gerilim ortadan kalkınca sistemin tekrar eski haline döndüğü görülür. Bu özelliğe tiksotropi denir.


It is seen that the viscosity decreases as the shear stress is increased, and the system returns to its original state when the tension is removed. This property is called thixotropy.
