Popis:	The conformational properties of randomly branched polymers grafted at one end on a planar surface in the good solvent regime are investigated by using a Flory-type scaling theory and by solving a self-consistent-field model numerically. The average monomer height obtained from the self-consistent-field model is shown to be in agreement with the scaling behavior predicted from the scaling theory. The density profile is found to have a near-parabolic form with some discrepancies near the surface and the brush end.
