Abstract
A criterion for the depinning of anchored semiflexible polymers in the weakly bending (stiff) limit was obtained by applying the necklace model. This model was extensively used to study the unbinding of flexible polymers. It was shown how the bending rigidity facilitates the force-induced unbinding of semiflexible polymers in the weakly bending limit.
