Abstract
The universality classes and critical exponents of the unbinding transition in a model of semiflexible membranes (or polymers) in (1+1) dimensions are determined for wall potentials that fall off with distance z as . For p>(2/3 the unbinding transition is first order, and for attractive potentials with p
