text: Equation  essentially underestimates the average dimensions of randomly branched polymers and predicts an infinite increase in the intramolecular concentration of the monomer units as a function of N. The effect of the intramolecular short-range (excluded-volume) repulsions on the conformations of the randomly branched polymers can be taken into account within the Flory mean-field approach156,157 by balancing the conformational entropy losses in the uniformly swollen randomly branched polymer:  F conf k B T ≅ R 2 〈 R g 2 〉 branched , ideal ≅ R 2 ( N n ) 1 / 2 a 2 with the mean-field free energy of the intramolecular binary (or ternary) repulsive interactions F int
