Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of reversible single chain polymer self-assembly are characterized by all-atom simulations. The ensemble of closed chains collapses from multiple conformations for long chains to nearly unique conformations for shorter chains, suggesting that the engineered polymers can fold into stable unique conformations at moderate temperatures.
