The shear thinning and the shear thickening phenomena, i.e ., positive thixotropy and negative thixotropy, were observed respectively in the previous studies. Recently we found a novel thixotropic phenomenon, described as "complex thixotropy", during studying the thixotropic phenomenon of magnesium aluminum hydroxide montmorillonite suspension. The study of thixotropy of the aqueous suspension consisting of magnesium aluminum hydroxide(Mg Al MMH)possessing permanent positive and Kaolinite possessing permanent negative charges is reported.
