Abstract: The scaling properties of selfavoiding polymerized membranes are studied
using renormalization group methods. The scaling exponent nu is calculated for
the first time at two loop order. nu is found to agree with the Gaussian
variational estimate for large space dimension d and to be close to the Flory
estimate for d=3.
