3-interval thixotropy test results for PN, HA, BDDE-HA, PN/HA, and PN/BDDE-HA. The first interval was conducted at a strain of 0.5% (within LVR) for 120 s, followed by the second interval at a shear rate of 100 1/s for 10 s to induce structural deformation. The third interval entailed monitoring recovery at a strain of 0.5% for 300 s. All tests were conducted at a temperature of 31.4 ℃ with oscillation intervals set at a frequency of 0.1 rad/s.
