AB  - We study the temperature-dependent structural behavior of self-avoiding walks 
      (SAWs) on two-dimensional Sierpinski carpets as a simple model of polymers 
      adsorbed on a disordered surface. Thereby, the Sierpinski carpet defines two 
      types of sites with energy 0 and >0 , respectively, yielding a deterministic 
      fractal energy landscape. In the limiting cases of temperature T-->0 and 
      T-->infinity , the known behaviors of SAWs on Sierpinski carpets and on regular 
      square lattices, respectively, are recovered. For finite temperatures, the 
      structural behavior is found to be intermediate between the two limiting cases; 
      the characteristic exponents, however, display a nontrivial dependence on 
      temperature.
