We study the structures of a ribbon or ladder polymer immersed in poorsolvents. The anisotropic bending rigidity coupled with the surface tensionleads ribbon polymers to spontaneous formation of highly anisotropiccondensates in poor solvents. Unlike ordinary flexible polymers thesecondensates undergo a number of distinct layering transitions as a function ofchain length or solvent quality, and the size of condensates becomesnon-monotonic function of chain length. We show that the fluctuations of thecondensates are in general small and these condensates are stable.
