Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of materials, particularly complex fluids and soft solids. It examines how substances respond to applied forces, including their viscosity, elasticity, and plasticity. Rheology is concerned with materials that do not have a constant viscosity and can change their flow behavior under different conditions, such as shear stress, temperature, and time. Key concepts in rheology include: 1. **Viscosity**: A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
