Abstract
Ornstein-Zernike integral equations using hybrid closures, developed to study the intra-aggregate correlations in polymer coated colloids, are combined with a mean-field Monte Carlo description of the polymers attached to the aggregates. The equilibrium coupling between the intra-aggregate correlations and conformations of the attached polymers is examined, and results for the aggregate-aggregate pair correlation functions, structure factors, and local monomer densities, for charged and neutral chains, at low and high surface coverage and concentration are presented.
