Abstract
Molecular and network parameters of branched polymer systems can he computed using various theoretical models and analysis techniques. Kinetic analysis and Markov modeling are two general approaches. For certain complex polymer systems the best approach may be a hybrid approach which combines kinetic and Markovian analysis. This hybrid approach is described in general, and several specific examples and applications are given.
