Some conformational and dynamical aspects of branched polymer are reviewed. We discuss the theoretical Gaussian Self-Consistent (GSC) approach proposed in our group and used to study the behaviour of regular star polymers and dendrimers in different solvent conditions. Within a single framework,...
