Table 2 Deformation rate and recovery time obtained from 3-interval Thixotropy test for PN, HA, BDDE-HA, PN/HA, and PN/BDDE-HA. Deformation rate was calculated from the reduction in storage modulus (\({G}^{{\prime}}\)) after high-shear application, and recovery time was defined as the duration required to reach the last G′ of the first interval. N/A indicates that full recovery was not achieved within the measurement period.
