Abstract
In the framework of the continuous model, a precise expression of the swelling of an isolated polymer in solution is given for all values of the interaction. The perturbation series obtained by Muthukumar and Nickel (1984) constitutes the initial data and a « direct renormalization method » is used to get the final result (in three dimensions)Keywords
