We plot the simulation behavior of R h as a function of the overall molecular weight M and backbone molecular weight M bb in Figure , for a number of side chain lengths M sc . The main changes in R h occur as the backbone length is increased, which reflects the increasing length and thus size of the overall polymer. A significantly smaller difference is observed between different side chain lengths, similar to the intrinsic viscosity observations, though these differences remain small even at low M bb . This is consistent with the Monte Carlo We use R h to show that there are only small differences in geometric parameters due to changes in temperature, which we plot for a few characteristic values of M sc as a function of T in Figure (a). Indeed, relatively small changes in R h are observed even over a large range of temperatures (0
