shear thinning [′shir ‚thin·iŋ] (fluid mechanics) Viscosity reduction of non-Newtonian fluids (for example, polymers and their solutions, most slurries and suspensions, lube oils with viscosity-index improvers) that undergo viscosity reductions under conditions of shear stress (that is, viscometric flow).

Different base elastomers impart different magnitudes of shear thinning behavior to a given compound. Although predicted for decades, shear thinning has never been observed near the critical point of any pure fluid. A new injection molding grade of HIPS combines high molecular weight with flow enhancers for a rheology that is self thinning, rather than relying on shear thinning at gates. |
