Abstract
The Rayleigh ratio Rθ for multicomponent solutions containing stiff-polymer and small-molecular components of arbitrary concentrations is formulated using the scaled particle theory for wormlike spherocylinders combined with the generalized Ornstein–Zernike integral equation. The general expression for Rθ obtained is applied to the following specific cases: (1) ternary solutions consisting of two homologous polymer species and a solvent, (2) solutions of polydisperse polymer samples, and (3) ternary solutions containing two solutes of different chemical species (e.g., one polymer dissolved in a mixed solvent). The result for the case of (1) is compared with experimental data for dilute through semidilute solutions containing two different molecular-weight samples of poly(n-hexyl isocyanate), a semiflexible polymer.
