a The theory (lines) and the experimental data (symbols) predict that short axis of the tactoids r decreases as the extension rate \(\dot{\varepsilon }\) increases where r lines, corresponding to tactoids with different volumes V, converge to a single curve at large values of extension rate. b At a given extension rate, the short axis of the tactoids increases logarithmically with an increase in the volume of the tactoids.
