Abstract
This paper discusses the asymptotic solution of the scattering function P(θ) for large x , where x is proportional to the scattering angle, radius of gyration, and the wavenumber. The theoretical model employed for the calculation of the P(θ)‐ vs ‐x curves was presented in the preceding paper. The results are discussed with respect to the experimental data, after the results for P(θ) are corrected for various values of polydispersity. A general analysis of the theoretical P(θ)‐ vs ‐x curves is presented, and the effect of the shape of the chain‐end distribution function on the asymptotic behavior of the light‐scattering function is discussed.
