Okay, better question, aren't all non-Newtonian fluids just solids suspended in a fluid? Why would you label it just a fluid then?

Yes
>>10327792
Because non-newtonian fluids are just fluids whose shear rate is not linearly proportional to the shear stress applies (their viscosity is not constant at a given temperature). They are true fluids, nothing to do with a solid in suspension . Btw, no fluids are truly "newtonian" the closer you look.

Checked

>>10327792
colloids can be made of liquid particles in liquid media with a viscosity disparity giving rise to non-newtonian properties while containing only liquids

They might not be purely fluid on a microscopic scale, but they are macroscopically fluids.

>> No.10329739

gas flows, therefore fluid

>> No.10329748

why do you ask?
