a Viscoelastic properties: dependence of the storage (black/blue) and loss moduli (red/magenta), G’ and G”, respectively, on the probe frequency. Values below 10−7 Pa are below the reliable measuring range of the instrument. b Loss factor (tan δ) vs. CNC mass fraction w, evaluated at the lowest angular frequency in (a). Filled symbols: no NaCl. Empty symbols: NaCl added to \(c_{Na^ + } \approx c_{Na^ + }^g\)
