Shear rate dependent solution micelles

Shear-Rate-Dependent Solution Viscosities of Polymers Crosslinked by Micelles. 

Figure 12.26 Dependence of the shear stress normalized by its steady-state value on the shear strain at two different shear rates for a nematic solution of wormlike micelles of CPyCI and hexanol at a volume fraction of CpyCl -f hexanol of 0.36 in 0.2 M NaCl.

Fig. 2. Experimental data (points) for the non-Newtonian shear stress versus the shear rate of a dilute solution of wormlike micelles (Delgado Castillo, 2005 2007). Fit of the data using the isotropic friction model (hne) in Eqs. (35), (36) and (38). Notice that the dependence of the effective viscosity as a function of the shear rate is not simply a power law. Figure taken from Ref. (Malaga, 2006).
