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.
