The crumpling of such sheets by external forces is characterized by the formation of a complex pattern of folds. We have investigated the role of self-avoidance, the fact that the sheets cannot self-intersect, for the crumpling process by large-scale computer simulations. At moderate compression, the force-compression relations of crumpled sheets for both self-avoiding and phantom sheets are found to obey universal power-law behaviours. However, self-avoiding sheets are much stiffer than phantom sheets and, for a given compression, develop many more folds. Moreover, self-avoidance is relevant already at very small volume fractions. The fold-length distribution for crumpled sheets is determined, and is found to be well-described by a log-normal distribution. The stiffening owing to self-avoidance is reflected in the changing nature of the sheet-to-sheet contacts from line-like to two-dimensionally extended with increasing compression. 000050649 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK414$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aKondensierte Materie$$cP54$$x0 000050649 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000050649 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBiocompatible Materials: chemistry 000050649 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBlood Platelets: chemistry 000050649 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCapsid: chemistry 000050649 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aComputer Simulation 000050649 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aElasticity 000050649 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aBiocompatible Materials 000050649 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000050649 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130665$$aGompper, G.$$b1$$uFZJ 000050649 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2088679-2$$a10.1038/nmat1581$$gVol. 5, p. 216 - 221$$p216 - 221$$q5<216 - 221$$tNature materials$$v5$$x1476-1122$$y2006 000050649 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmat1581 000050649 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:50649$$pVDB 000050649 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK414$$bMaterie$$kP54$$lKondensierte Materie$$vKondensierte Materie$$x0$$zentfällt bis 2009 000050649 9141_ $$y2006 000050649 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000050649 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)VDB31$$d31.12.2006$$gIFF$$kIFF-TH-II$$lTheorie II$$x0 000050649 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)79183 000050649 980__ $$aVDB 000050649 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000050649 980__ $$ajournal 000050649 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICS-2-20110106 000050649 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000050649 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBI-5-20200312 000050649 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IAS-2-20090406 000050649 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICS-2-20110106
