Question

Shear thickening fluid is also known as-

A.

Pseudoplastic

B.

Dilatant

C.

Thixotropic

D.

Rheopectic

Correct option is B


Shear thickening fluid is also known as a dilatant fluid. In a dilatant fluid, the viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain. This means that the fluid becomes more viscous (thicker) as it is stirred or agitated more rapidly. This behavior is observed in certain materials like cornstarch in water, which can behave like a solid under sudden impact or stress.
