  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000717",
  "term": "Anti-thixotropy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A rheological phenomenon where the viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid increases over time when subjected to a constant shear rate. This behavior is also known as negative thixotropy or rheopexy. Upon removal of the shear, the fluid slowly returns to its initial lower viscosity state.",
