Abstract
In this work we present scattering functions of conjugates consisting of a colloid particle and a self-avoiding polymer chain. This model is directly derived from the two point correlation function with the inclusion of excluded volume effects. The dependence of the calculated scattering function on the geometric shapes of the colloid and polymer stiffness is investigated. In comparison to existing experimental results, our model is found to be able to describe the scattering signature of the colloid-polymer conjugates and provide additional conformational information. This model explicitly elucidates the link between the global conformation of a conjugate and the microstructure of its constituent components.
