Figure 3. The resistance of nanotube chains formed in the fluid at different series resistances.

For each R_s four values of R_f are shown, measured at different times t. Blue diamonds represent the longest evolution time. Applied voltage is 150 V, concentration of nanotubes is 0.075 g/l. The blue dashed line corresponds to R_f = R_s, t₀ is the time when P(t₀)/P_max = 1.
