Everything about Paste Rheology totally explained

» For other meanings of paste see Paste (disambiguation)

In physics, a paste is a substance that behaves as a solid until a sufficiently large load or stress is applied, at which point it flows like a fluid. In rheological terms, a paste is an example of a Bingham plastic fluid.
   Pastes typically consist of a suspension of granular material in a background fluid. The individual grains are jammed together like sand on a beach, forming a disordered, glassy or amorphous structure, and giving pastes their solid-like character. It is this "jamming together" that gives pastes some of their most unusual properties; this causes paste to demonstrate properties of fragile matter.
   In pharmacology, paste is basic pharmaceutical form. It consists of fatty base (for example, petroleum jelly) and at least 25% solid substance (for example, zinc oxide).
   Examples include starch pastes, toothpaste, mustard, and putty.
