Abstract In this paper we present a full account of renormalization group theory as applied to equilibrium properties of ternary polymer solutions containing two different polymer species and one solvent. We use a carefully constructed renormalization group mapping incorporating the screening effect by a proper choice of the renormalized segment size. The scaling functions reproducing observable quantities are calculated to tree approximation. We have evaluated a series of experiments on ternary solutions in this approximation and observe remarkably good agreement.
