thixotropy

"Maybe they'd rather have good catchup, and thixotropy be damned!

And the catchup industry is still bogged down, trying to lick thixotropy."

Lick thixotropy, and you'll have some new red bilge sold under a proud old name!"

This is a sort of reverse thixotropy.

It is very thixotropic above 1% concentration, but below 0.3%, the thixotropy is slight.

This property is known as thixotropy.

The process is named after the fluid property thixotropy, which is the phenomenon that allows this process to work.

"You know what thixotropy is?"

It has the characteristic of thixotropy: it looks solid, but when pressure is applied it liquifies (acts like a liquid).

"Thixotropy," said Harry.

In a recent letter to Nature (1991,354, 114) three Italian scientists claimed that thixotropy, a property of certain gels to become liquid on the application of some external force, could account for the 'congealed blood' becoming liquid as the Archbishop agitates the phial.
