The phase behavior of semi-flexible polymers is integral to various contexts, from materials science to biophysics, many of which utilize or require specific confinement geometries as well as the orientational behavior of the polymers. Inspired by collagen assembly, we study the orientational ordering of semi-flexible polymers, modeled as Maier-Saupe worm-like chains, using self-consistent field theory. We first examine the bulk behavior of these polymers, locating the isotropic-nematic transition and delineating the limit of stabil
