“…45 For wormlike micelle solution, the high plateau of the viscosity curve is generated by the intertwined micellar network restricting the solution to strain under shear force, which is generally dened as zero-shear viscosity (h 0 ). 43 However, the structure of wormlike micelles is not unbreakable, wormlike micelles are constantly in a dynamic equilibrium of breaking/recombination. 46,47 When the shear rate is fast (the shear force is strong) enough, the linear wormlike micelles will massively break, the formed micelle "fragments" are aligned along the direction of the shear force, and the resulting stress relaxation of the system leads to the viscosity of the solution decreased seriously.…”
