The second and the third virial coefficients in the lattice model of athermal mixtures of molecules of difierent sizes are calculated. Ail computations have been done for two-and three-dimensional simple square and simple cubic lattices.

โฆ Synopsis
The segment-cloud model for polymer moIecuIes has been used, and the second virial coefficient AZ obtained as a function of the interaction parameter = for linear and branched chains having different values of 11. It is observed that the chain length effect, though much smakr than in the perturbation theory, increases as the degree of branching increases. Also. the branching pmmeter g is found to be a better correlating parameter than the segment density distribution for _42_ This is in contnzst to eylier results for the perturbation theory of the excluded rolume_
