Abstract: In this paper we study crumpled surfaces through Monte Carlo Simulations. A crumpled surface is represented by a cluster of spins pointing up; spins pointing down represent the air both inside and around the surface. We follow the time dynamics of this fractal structure and we show that it presents a stretched exponential behaviour.
