Figure 5
(a) Storage and loss moduli evolution in 24 h for a purulent (green) and a semi-purulent samples (blue). The crossing point of the fits gives the characteristic time \(t_c\) (indicated with black marks) for the \(G'\) and \(G''\) drop found in purulent samples, obtained by intersecting the exponential fits to the two regimes (light green lines). (b) Mean values and standard deviations of \(t_c\) in \(G'\) and \(G''\) for purulent samples. (c) Mean values and standard deviations of the evolution of \(G'\) and \(G''\) after 6 h, \(\Delta G'_{6h}\) and \(\Delta G''_{6h}\) for purulent and semi-purulent samples.
