a Fibre concentration in solution was increased when no crossover modulus (Gc) was observed in the 0.08–3901.01 Pa shear stress (τ) acquisition range; b Measurements taken at each condition with n = 3 replicates for yield shear stress (τy) and crossover modulus (Gc) in Pa with ± %RSD at the yield point (sol-gel transition point).
