A Monte Carlo method has been devised for calculating the conformation-dependent properties of cyclic poly (dimethyl siloxanes)(PDMS), using Flory, Crescenzi and Mark's rotational isomeric state model. Calculated values of the mean-square radii of gyration< s 2 r> of ring molecules unperturbed by excluded volume effects and containing 8–100 skeletal atoms are compared with the< s 2 l> values for the corresponding unperturbed chain molecules. Exact enumeration methods were also employed for rings [(CH 3) 2 SiO] w 2 with w⩽ 24 and the results found to be in close agreement with those obtained by the Monte Carlo method. The ratio< s 2 l>< s 2 r> was found to attain limiting values close to 2.0 for w> 30, in agreement with theoretical predictions.
