The polymer collapse rates were greatest when
the shape of nanosized confinement follows the
conformations transitioning from unfolded to folded states.
Pancake-shaped nanocontainer best enhances rates of polymer collapse
Dominant conformations
of a hexane in nano-
water droplet depend
on the size of the droplet
Free energy as a function of end-to-end
distance of a hexane in water droplets
of varying sizes
