To further examine the effects of combined stirring methods and viscosity steady state equilibrium, additional "recovery" stirring experiments were also created. Here, we examine our 40 mg/mL 2NapFF concentration solutions at either 400 rpm or 1000 rpm stirred for either one day or seven days. All samples were then left to stand undisturbed on the bench for a seven-day period after stirring. We aim to establish the effects of different stirring rates and times on the viscosity increases we have already noted when samples are left undisturbed after stirring. Combining the 400 rpm stirring rate and resting, Figure (a), we see similar viscosity plot shapes to those seen in Figure . We also see the viscosity increase like that shown in Figure . The size of the viscosity increase over the seven day standing period is approximately half an order of magnitude greater, regardless if samples were originally stirred at 400 rpm for one day or for seven days. However, when we combine stirring at 1000 rpm and then resting, Figure , we see similar to Figure that the viscosity of samples stirred at 1000 rpm comes to equilibrium after one day. Unlike when stirring at 400 rpm, we do not see an increase in viscosity once stirring has stopped. As the micelles have been stirred more at 1000 rpm compared to 400 rpm, we assume the micelles have been broken more during shear applied when stirring and hence in the same stand time period, we do not see the micelles entangle as quickly to increase the viscosity when shear is removed.
