Abstract
Scott Blair, Veinoglou and Caffyn1 have explained the rheological behaviour of certain complex materials in terms of ‘quasi-properties' ; that is, complex entities in which a number of magnitudes taken together describes the process which the material undergoes as a result of a specified test, the ordinary ‘properties', such as viscosity and elasticity, being changed by the testing process itself.
