Crumpling of a thin film leads to a unique stiff yet lightweight structure. The stiffness has been attributed to a complex interplay between four basic elements - smooth bends, sharp folds, localized points (developable cones), and stretching ridges - yet rigorous models of the structure are not yet available. In this letter we show that adhesion, the attraction between surfaces within the crumpled structure, is an important yet overlooked contributer to the overall strength of a crumpled film. Specifically, we conduct experiments with two different polymers films and compare the role of plastic deformation, elastic deformation and adhesion in crumpling. We use an empirical model to capture the behaviour quantitatively, and use the model to show that adhesion leads to an order of magnitude increase in effective modulus. Going beyond statics, we additionally conduct force recovery experiments. We show that once adhesion is accounted for, plastic and elastic crumpled films recover logarithmically. The time constants measured through crumpling, interpreted with our model, show an identical distribution as do the base materials measured in more conventional geometries.
The interaction of graphene with neighboring materials and structures plays an important role in its behavior, both scientifically and technologically. The interactions are complicated due to the interplay between surface forces and possibly nonlinea
The force-level Elastically Collective Nonlinear Langevin Equation theory of activated relaxation in glass-forming free-standing thin films is re-visited to improve its treatment of collective elasticity effects. The naive cut off of the isotropic bu
In this study, thin elastic films supported on a rigid substrate are brought into contact with a spherical glass indenter. Upon contact, adhesive fingers emerge at the periphery of the contact patch with a characteristic wavelength. Elastic films are
A hydrostatically stressed soft elastic film circumvents the imposed constraint by undergoing a morphological instability, the wavelength of which is dictated by the minimization of the surface and the elastic strain energies of the film. While for a
The dynamical equations describing the evolution of a self-gravitating fluid of cold dark matter (CDM) can be written in the form of a Schrodinger equation coupled to a Poisson equation describing Newtonian gravity. It has recently been shown that, i
