“…3 we see that for more than two decades in frequency o, the storage modulus G 0 is independent of o, whereas the loss modulus G 00 is independent of o in the low o regime while having a power-law like dependence for higher o, reminiscent of the anomalous increase in G 0084 with o reported for Carbopol. [85][86][87] The lack of a crossover in G 0 and G 00 in the range of o probed indicates very long structural relaxation times 40,41,46 and the fact that values of G 0 are larger than G 00 by almost an order of magnitude (atleast for 2,3% solutions) motivates us to refer to these VES solutions as wormlike micellar gels. Note, that these wormlike micellar gels exhibit a sort of gel-sol transition with temperature, where at higher temperatures, their linear rheology is that of a Maxwell-type viscoelastic fluid with a single relaxation time.…”
