Alignment factor along the flow direction calculated from azimuthal sweeps performed at $q^{\ast }=0.048{\text{Å}}^{-1}$ in the 1–3 scattering plane plotted against shear rate. Critical shear rates ${\dot{\gamma }}_{\text{c},1}$ and ${\dot{\gamma }}_{c,2}$ have been highlighted with vertical dotted lines.
