Abstract
Chains containing side groups were generated with up to 102 bonds in the backbone for both iso- and syndiotactic arrangements. The mean-square end-to-end distance <h 2>, the mean-square radius of gyration <r 2> and the ratios <l 2 i >/<l 21 > of the axes of inertia were investigated. It could be shown that the mean size and shape of such chains are not influenced by the kind of stereoregularity.
