Abstract
Inverted micelles are found to exhibit marked viscoelasticity with a pronounced dependence on volume fraction. The frequency dependence, measured using both ultrasonic and Brillouin techniques, reflects the dynamics of the interactions between the micelles. At low frequencies they behave as isolated spheres, while at high frequencies they behave as an instantaneous connected network. The rigidity of this network exhibits power-law scaling with volume fraction, consistent with rigidity percolation.Keywords
