   • 2016, Pierre Lidon, Louis Villa, Sebastien Manneville, “Power-law creep and residual stresses in a carbopol microgel”, in arXiv‎:

     For applied shear stresses lower than some typical value ${\displaystyle \sigma _{\text{c}}\simeq 0.2\sigma _{\text{y}}}$, the microgel experiences a more complex, anomalous creep behavior, characterized by an initial decrease of the strain, that we attribute to the existence of residual stresses of the order of ${\displaystyle \sigma _{\text{c}}}$ after preshear.
