Motivated by the existence of conflicting results that can be found in the specialized literature, an experimental program was designed strictly following the definitions of thixotropy and antithixotropy provided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. To test the validity of the implicitly assumed correspondence between steady state shear thinning and thixotropy, and steady state shear thickening and antithixotropy, a colloidal suspension that shows steady shear thinning and shear thickening behaviors at different shear stress regimes was used. In this way, possible misinterpretations of the results from the different chemical nature or physical properties of the materials were avoided. An apparent viscosity function for shear thinning/shear thickening fluids was used. In addition, kinetic equations for the time dependency of the viscosity were also used to obtain the temperature dependence of the rate constants for the formation and rupture of particle aggregates in both shear regions.

测试气相二氧化硅悬浮液中的剪切变稀/触变和剪切增稠/抗触变关系

由于专业文献中存在相互矛盾的结果，因此严格按照国际纯粹与应用化学联合会提供的触变性和抗触变性的定义设计了一个实验程序。为了测试稳态剪切稀化和触变性以及稳态剪切增稠和抗触变性之间隐含假设的对应关系的有效性，使用了在不同剪切应力状态下显示稳定剪切稀化和剪切增稠行为的胶体悬浮液。通过这种方式，避免了由于材料的不同化学性质或物理特性而对结果可能产生的误解。使用了剪切稀化/剪切增稠流体的表观粘度函数。此外，
