The configurational properties of long polymers in solution can be conveniently studied by using a direct renormalization method, recently introduced by the author. This method is described here in detail and applied to the two parameter model. The indices γ, ν and ω are calculated directly to second order in ε = 4 - d, where d is the space dimension. As expected, these expansions coincide with the expansions of the indices γ, ν and ω of the zero-component Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson field theory. The formalism may describe monodisperse or polydisperse ensembles and leads directly to scaling equations. The second virial coefficient, expressed in terms of a scaling length which is the end to end distance of an isolated polymer, has been exactly c...
