The effect of a finite bending rigidity κ’on flexible, polymerized surfaces without self-avoidance is studied via the Monte Carlo method. Unlike linear polymers or liquid membranes, these surfaces undergo a remarkable finite-temperature crumpling transition, with a diverging specific heat. For small κ’/k B T, the surface is crumpled, and the radius of gyration R G grows as ln L 1/2, where L is the linear size of uncrumpled membrane. For large κ’/k B T, we find that the surface remains flat, ie, R G∼ L. Our results strongly suggest a finite-temperature crumpling transition in polymerized self-avoiding membranes as well.
