The cohesion of the individual particles of a given material (i.e., its ability to deform or its resistance to flow).
dilatant fluid
A dilatant, or inverted plastic, fluid is usually made up of a high concentration of well-dispersed solids that exhibits a nonlinear consistency curve passing through the origin. The apparent viscosity increases instantaneously with increasing rate of share. The yield point, as determined by conventional calculations from the direct-indicating viscometer readings, is negative; however, the true yield point is zero.
