26. In the first 2 days the rheometer gap was virtually unchanged. It is further noted that all results were entirely reproducible. It is also noted that the third-day measurements were carried out with the properly adjusted gap, and the viscosity data are reliable and exclude the possibility of erroneous contribution due to potential formation of a "thin crust" of solution near the sample edge or other relevant pitfalls.

34. This argument is consistent with the proposed association picture of Figure 5, where clusters are formed via lateral interaction (through the side chains) of trimers and/or smaller clusters.
35. On the other hand, the presence of a small number of larger clusters at day 2, with relaxation times comparable to day 3, cannot be excluded; in such a case, however, their limited number inhibits their resolution based on intensity (Arc') considerations.
