We present a field-theoretic renormalization group analysis of a polymerchain immersed in a binary good solvent close to its critical demixing point.We first show that this problem can be mapped on a bicritical field theory,i.e. a $(\Phi^{2})^{2}$-model with a mass anisotropy. This implies that theend-to-end distance of the polymer is now controlled by a new critical exponent$\nu_{B}$ related to the quadratic mass anisotropy operator $B$. To show thiswe solve the RG equation and calculate explicitly the exponents and the meanend-to-end length of the chain.Comment: 6 pages, accepted in Europhys. Let
