15. It is also noted that concerning ZWl, the slow terminal relaxation, attributed to structural rearrangements of the self-organized hyperstar structures (ref 3) and detected Theologically only in ZW1-15, is strongly strain dependent; this suggests a rather delicate and easily disrupted structure, in harmony with earlier findings (ref 1b). However, these types of structures are also characterized by a remarkable thermal stability of the zwitterionic interactions (ref 3).
