The shear dependence of the methylcellulose gelation phenomena in aqueous solution and in ceramic paste

- We analyze the gelation of methylcellulose in aqueous solutions and ceramic pastes.
- Rheological data were obtained in oscillation vs. steady shear flow.
- Low shear rates shift the gelation temperature downwards.
- High shear rates shift the gelation temperature upwards.
- We confirm our findings in ceramic paste.
