Popis: In this paper we present analytical expressions for the osmotic and light-scattering second virial coefficients of polydisperse polymer samples in a good solvent. They are derived using the Schulz and the Lognormal molecular weight distribution respectively. The effect of interpenetrating coils is taken into account. Comparison is made with expressions already derived by Casassa using a hard sphere model. The reduction of the obtained expressions to simple scaling laws is discussed.
