Small-angle scattering data from diblock copolymer systems containing disordered arrangements of spherical domains are modeled with the Percus-Yevickhard-sphere liquid theoryto obtain the interparticle interference contribution to the scattered intensity. By choosing an effective hard-sphere interaction radius based on fitting the lowest angle interference peak and a domain radius from the location of the higher angle form factor scattering peaks, the full scattering pattern can be quite adequately accounted for. The difference between the hard-sphere radius and the domain size is attributed tothe closest distance of approach between domains and corresponds to approximately 1.5 times the matrix block chain unperturbed radius of gyration. Thus, small-angle scattering data can provide a measurement of the separation distance at which the interdomain potential becomes highly repulsive.
