Tech/Engineering - Physics / viscositeit
English term or phrase: shear-thinning
Context: "However, the viscosity of so-called non-newtonian fluids (including the liquid chocolate ingredient according to the patent, as will be demonstrated below) not only depends from the temperature but also depends from the shear to which the fluid is subjected (“shear-thinning” fluids)."

pseudoplastisch komt me heel ver weg bekend voor, maar zou er nooit opgekomen zijn.
Dilatant: associeer ik met verdunnen, snap ik niet.
never mind...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Beste Leo, heb het antwoord intussen al gevonden. Het zouden "pseudoplastische" vloeistoffen zijn in tegenstelling tot "dilatante" vloeistoffen. Toch bedankt voor je hulp!

Asker: Heb dit, na lang zoeken, teruggevonden in onderstaande referentie http://www.tpeholland.nl/dienst-a.htm
