Popis: The exponent ν in the power law for the radius of gyration, R∼N ν , with N the total number of chain segments, has been theoretically examined for randomly branched and regular comblike chains. Values of ν expected in the limits of good solvent and θ solvent are compared with corresponding experimental values for dextrans in aqueous solutions. In the dilute regime power laws describing the molecular weight dependence of the radius of gyration, mutual diffusion coefficient, second virial coefficient, and the intensity of neutron scattering indicate clearly the branched nature of the molecules
