Abstract
The static-coherent-scattering function for a single polymer chain consisting of units with full excluded-volume effect is calculated by the renormalized perturbation method in chain conformation space. is given in a closed form to order ( being the spatial dimension) as a function of with the radius of gyration. It is found that is very close to the without any excluded-volume effect; the difference between and is sufficiently small to probably preclude experimental measurement. However, there still remains the possibility of observing the excluded-volume effect on the dissymmetry coefficients which magnifies the difference between and .
