The competition between persistence length and attraction range controls whether polymer collapse is sharp or gradual, with stiffness promoting collapse for short-range attractions but suppressing it for long-range ones.

Collapse of a single polymer chain: Effects of chain stiffness and attraction range
The competition between persistence length and attraction range controls whether polymer collapse is sharp or gradual, with stiffness promoting collapse for short-range attractions but suppressing it for long-range ones.
