We report some recent results obtained in our laboratory on the poor-solvent behavior of macromolecules. We first discuss the globular collapse of short chains that, unlike long ones, may form compact ordered states. We then address the collapse of random AB copolymers, which may provide significant

## Abstract By use of the pivot algorithm, star‐branched chains with __F__ = 3–12 arms of length __n, nF__ = 480, and linear chains (__F__ = 2) are generated on a tetrahedral lattice. In order to simulate different qualities of the solvent, specific short‐range interactions are taken into account.
