the relaxation of a tethered branch in an entangled melt by retracting along its tube, with an exponential penalty that makes star polymer relaxation slow.

In rheology, arm retraction refers to the relaxation of a tethered branch in an entangled melt by retracting along its tube, with an exponential penalty that makes star polymer relaxation slow. This meaning comes from Pearson (1984) in Macromolecules.[1]
