Abstract
The scaling behavior of self-avoiding (SA) fluid membranes in three dimensions subject to a bending rigidity κ is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. For κ=0, open and closed membranes behave like SA branched polymers at large length scales. For arbitrary k, scaling functions of the combination y==N1/2/κ are found to describe the shape variables of closed membranes. The transition from a rigid phase at small y to a SA branched polymer phase at large y is smooth for closed membranes.
