Anisotropic colloidal particles interacting with polymers in a good solvent.

We study the consequences of chain self-avoidance for the interaction between nonadsorbing polymers and colloidal particles of anisotropic shape, such as ellipsoids, lenses, and dumbbells. In the framework of a field theoretic operator expansion for small mesoscopic particles, we obtain exact results for self-avoiding polymers in d=2 spatial dimensions and we compare ideal and self-avoiding polymers in 2
