7. For ease of presentation, no mention will be made in this article of the effect of a chain avoiding itself. [The treatment in (2) emphasizes self-avoidance and gives its scaling description of brushes in terms of "blobs."] This omission is justified for moderately high coverage in brushes with not-too-good solvents (or for brushes without solvent); see (7). Except for altered exponents, the qualitative features of brushes (for instance, a "parabolic" profile for solvent brushes) are unaffected by self-avoidance; see (8).
