👉 The Lopez fluid, also known as the Lopez shear-thinning fluid, is a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits a unique property where its viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, making it highly effective in applications requiring low viscosity at high shear rates and high viscosity at low shear rates. This behavior is due to its complex molecular structure, which includes a mixture of polymers and nanoparticles that can align and rearrange under stress. As a result, the fluid flows easily when agitated or pushed (shear) but maintains its structural integrity when at rest, making it ideal for use in 3D printing, inkjet printing, and other processes where precise control over flow behavior is crucial.
