The characterization of supermolecular structures in polymer solutions by static light scattering requires an improved analysis of the scattering curves. A comparison of the experimental curves with model calculations for various basic structure types in a scaled plot offers the possibility to extend the range of a reliable determination of the structural parameters to particle sizes up to 500 nm. The influence of the polydispersity and problems of an unambiguous interpretation are discussed. Especially, a closed analytical expression for the scattering function of polydisperse systems of spheres with a Schulz‐Zimm distribution of radii was derived.
