Abstract
We have performed scattering experiments on dilute solutions of polydisperse and fractionated sol phases obtained in a gelation process. The comparison of the structure factors allows one to separate size polydispersity effects and conformational properties of the branched species. Our results show that their behavior in solution agrees rather well with the one expected for swollen percolation clustersKeywords
