Abstract
The phase diagram for a lattice ring polymer under applied force, with variable solvent quality, for different topological knot states, is determined for the first time. In addition to eliminating pseudophases where the polymer is flattened into a single layer, it is found that non-trivial knots result in additional pseudophases under tensile force conditions.
