We review the experimental and theoretical results obtained during the past decade on the structure and rheology of wormlike micellar solutions. We focus on the linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity and emphasize the analogies with polymers. Based on a comprehensive survey of surfactant systems, the present study shows the existence of standard rheological behaviors for semidilute and concentrated solutions. One feature of this behavior is a shear banding transition associated with a stress plateau in the nonlinear mechanical response. For concentrated solutions, we show that in the plateau region the shear bands are isotropic and nematic.

- An introductory essay on subcritical instabilities and the transition to turbulence in visco-elastic parallel shear flows (2007, background): “From a more general perspective, this conclusion may also have important implications for our understanding of shear banding, the fact that sheared complex fluids may tend to break up into zones with very different shear rates [75, 76 ].”
