We investigate the explosive fragmentation process in two dimensions using molecular-dynamics simulations. We show that the mass distribution of fragments follows a power law, with a scaling exponent that is strongly dependent on the macroscopic characteristics of the system prior to the explosion process. In particular, for thermalized initial configurations at low temperatures, we observe that the exponent is close to -1. We suggest that this result can be interpreted in terms of a multiplicative fracture process.
