Abstract
Ring and linear polymers, with an without excluded volume, have been studied by Brownian dynamics. The shape of the polymers was investigated by calculating the principal orthogonal components of the radius of gyration. Ring polymers are found to be more spherical than linear ones. (AIP)Keywords
