“…The NPs can increase the zero-shear viscosity η 0 , relaxation time τ rel , and the plateau modulus G 0 of VES fluids ( Figure 2 ) [ 94 , 96 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 ]. The most pronounced is the effect of NPs on the viscosity, which can augment by up to 3 orders of magnitude [ 94 , 96 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 110 , 111 ]. It can be attributed to the hindered reptation of WLMs as their motion slows down in the vicinity of NPs.…”
