Overview of the physicochemical parameters extracted from instrumental measurements.

Type of Measurement Explanation Codes
Large deformation test: η at 10 s¹ at t = 10 s. SS10
Steady shear rate (SS) η at 50 s¹ at 10 s. SS50
The area of the hysteresis loop between the upward and downward curves HL
Large deformation test:
Flow curves (FCs)
Shear thinning index, n, and consistency, K, were calculated from the power law (η = K*ẏn¹) from the upward flow curve n, K
Apparent viscosities (ηapp) from upward flow curve (Pa·s) calculated from Ostwald-de Waele
= Kẏ^(n¹) at shear rates 1.5, 5, 10, 25, and 50 (1/s)
