Taken in isolation, the large aggregates may signify a propensity for higher viscosity but the degree of branching confirmed by direct calculation and the cubic power law growth region indicate other processes at play. Heavily branched and large structures are not likely to be associated with a massively enhanced zero-shear viscosity and in fact these structures are more likely indicative of a tendency towards macroscopic phase separation, corresponding to the turbid and eventually phase separated samples seen experimentally. As such, one may consider systems that branch heavily during short time scale simulation as indicative of compositions to discard in a screening procedure using our methods. On the other hand low levels of branching may provide a mechanism of stress relaxation in micelles that leads to a reduction in the structural relaxation time and consequently lowering the zero-shear viscosity. We believe we have evidence that the simulation approach as described above can act as a useful method to guide the formulator to regions in formulation space where appropriate zero shear viscosity may be found. The errors in optimum pH are small and would easily be corrected in the laboratory, and compared to searching a very large formulation space with no predictive guidance, the formulator would still have arrived at an optimal blend in a much reduced time and cost.
