Abstract

The formation of fiber networks and the resulting rheological properties of supramolecular soft materials are dramatically influenced when the volume of the system is reduced to a threshold. Unlike un-confined systems, the formation of fiber networks under volume confinement is independent of temperature and solute concentration.
