We review the phenomenon of adsorption of colloidal particles at interfaces between two
immiscible liquids, such as on the surfaces of droplets. Though the tendency of small …

A statistical study of crumpled paper is allowed by a minimal 1D model: a self-avoiding line
bent at sharp angles—in which the elastic energy resides—put in a confining potential …

Thin film networks of solution processed nanosheets show remarkable promise for use in a
broad range of applications including strain sensors, energy storage, printed devices, textile …

We introduce a method for simulating the inelastic deformation of thin shells: we model
plasticity and fracture of curved, deformable objects such as light bulbs, egg-shells and …

Despite the apparent ease with which sheets of paper are crumpled and tossed away,
crumpling dynamics are often considered a paradigm of complexity. This arises from the …

Crumpled thin sheets exhibit extraordinary characteristics such as a high strength combined
with a low volume ratio. This review focuses on the physics of crumpled thin sheets …

This paper proposes a new type of soft matter, namely fibrous materials. The common
characteristics of soft matter that are shared by fibrous materials, such as the multiphase …

In this work, we present a method for simulating the large-scale deformation and crumpling
of thin, elastoplastic sheets. Motivated by the physical behavior of thin sheets during …

Icosahedral shells undergo a buckling transition as the ratio of Young's modulus to bending
stiffness increases. Strong bending stiffness favors smooth, nearly spherical shapes, while …

We study the scaling properties of randomly folded aluminum sheets of different thicknesses
h and widths L. We found that the fractal dimension D= 2.30±0.01 and the force scaling …
