Figure 2

(a)- Log-Log plots of scattering intensities from a dispersion of vesicles at a low degree of polymerization and a high degree of polymerization at 15°C (Step III). The lines in a show the power law fit , where the fractal dimension, dF is 2.25 for the upper curve and 2.55 for the lower curve. (b) gives the fractal dimensions of the wrinkled membrane as a function of the degree of polymerization, ϕ. The error bars at high ϕ are due to the variation in the value of dF when the fitting window is varied. The inset shows that dF ~ ϕ−0.5. (c) shows the intensity at low ϕ at low and high-T. The red curve (bottom curve-filled squares) resembles Figure for vesicles. The blue curve (top curve-empty squares) is the intensity at low-T when the vesicles wrinkle. (d) shows the intensity at ϕ > ϕc at low and high-T. The blue curve (top curve-empty circles) is the intensity at low temperature. The red curve (bottom curve-filled circles) is the intensity at high-T and it does not look like the curves in Figure 1 nor Figure 2c.
