Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with the adhesion of lipid tubules to a plane wall: we treat both the statics and the dynamics of this phenom enon. Though we provide an exact solution to the equilibrium problem, our treatment of the dynamical problem is approximate, as it is based on a simplified model, which, nevertheless allows us to obtain quantit ative information about the detachment dynamics of tubules.
