      abstract     = {By means of multicanonical computer simulations, we
                      investigate thermodynamic properties of the aggregation of
                      interacting semiflexible polymers. We analyze a mesoscopic
                      bead-stick model, where nonbonded monomers interact via
                      Lennard-Jones forces. Aggregation turns out to be a process,
                      in which the constituents experience strong structural
                      fluctuations, similar to peptides in coupled folding-binding
                      cluster formation processes. In contrast to a recently
                      studied related proteinlike hydrophobic-polar heteropolymer
                      model, aggregation and crystallization are separate
                      processes for a homopolymer with the same small bending
                      rigidity. Rather stiff semiflexible polymers form a
                      liquid-crystal-like phase, as expected. In analogy to the
                      heteropolymer study, we find that the first-order-like
                      aggregation transition of the complexes is accompanied by
                      strong system-size-dependent hierarchical surface effects.
                      In consequence, the polymer aggregation is a
                      phase-separation process with entropy reduction. Copyright
