Abstract
The thermodynamic perturbation theory of hard sphere chains is generalized to derive an equation of state for hard convex body chains. The hard convex body chain equation of state contains two parameters that are related directly and rigorously to the geometry of the hard convex body. The compressibility factors and second virial coefficients of chains composed of prolate spherocylinders, oblate spherocylinders and doublecones are calculated and compared with hard sphere chain calculations. The comparison indicates that the nature of the hard convex body has a profound influence on the properties of the chain.
