Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1993, vol. 194, issue 1, 190-198

Abstract: Upon cooling partially polymerized membranes may undergo a spontaneous transition to a wrinkled rigid structure. This transition is reversible: the vesicles unwrinkle upon heating. A model is presented suggesting that this transition could be the membrane equivalent of a glass transition.
