(a) Radius evolution, (b) extensional viscosities \(\eta _{E}\), and (c) associated relaxation times \(\lambda _{E}\) for semi-dilute PEO/chloroform solutions. Similar to PEO/water solutions23, the EC regime lengthens (a) and \(\eta _{E}\) increases (b) with increasing PEO concentration. (c) Relaxation times scale with concentration as \(\lambda _{E} \propto c^{0.62}\). Error bars are the standard deviation across multiple trials; the shaded region reflects the 95% confidence interval around the fit to average values.
