Abstract

The compression and the expected multiple escape transitions of a star polymer were investigated. The transitions were characterized by a sharp decrease in the measured force with compression and correspond to the partial escape of arms of a center-tethered star polymer. Under weak compression, the radial extent of the star increased to maintain a balance between the stretching energy of the arms and the excluded volume energy of the monomers.
