Abstract A dendrimer carbosilane containing 32 Si—Cl bonds in the perimeter has been prepared and has been used as a coupling agent to prepare 32-arm star polybutadienes. The dilute-solution properties 〈RG2〉, A2, [η], and D0 have been measured in one good solvent and in one ¸ -solvent. The dimensions of the 32-arm star polymers are compared with those of linear polymers at constant molecular weight. It is shown that the 32-arm star polybutadiene has the characteristic properties of a hard-sphere molecule in dilute solution. The equivalent hard-sphere radii calculated from A2, D0 and [η] are identical and 1.29 times larger than the root mean-square radius of gyration. The Daoud—Cotton scaling model for stars is also tested.
