Abstract
An analytical expression for the excluded volume between a sphere and a freely jointed chain as a function of sphere radius, Kuhn segment
length, and number of Kuhn segments is developed. This expression
agrees well with Monte Carlo calculations. In addition, it reduces
to the proper form in limits when the Kuhn segment length is much
larger and much smaller than the sphere radius. (C) 1998 Academic
