Abstract
A Monte Carlo procedure was used to simulate flexible branched macromolecules on a high‐speed digital computer. The molecules studied were of the regular‐comb type. Configurational and statistical thermodynamic properties were evaluated according to prescriptions used for linear flexible chains. The effects of branching on these properties are discussed.Keywords
